Introduction: Handlebar hernias are rare; they result from blunt force impacting the abdomen. This focal blunt trauma causes a tear of the underlying abdominal muscle and fascia without necessarily disrupting the skin. The site of the hernia is usually remote from the site of trauma so clinicians may be falsely reassur...
