This case takes place in Maine and involves a man who suffered injuries while performing his job duties. As a result of lifting heavy equipment, he suffered a severe testicular torsion. The man subsequently lost the injured testicle, and his fertility is now in jeopardy. The defense claims that the man, throughout his life, had a condition known as “clapper bell deformity.” The plaintiffs position is that the torsion was caused by the physical exertion in the lifting of heavy equipment.
I have had extensive experience with testicular torsion over the past 20 years. Heavy lifting and exertion is very common with this diagnosis. The question becomes as to the plaintiff’s h/o of clapper bell deformity, his age and his urologic history and incidence of testicular pain or issues in the past. It is difficult to determine the actual cause although it is often brought on by exertion and lifting.
