This paper explains everything about urethral injuries with diagrams.

They're both correct

- Posterior urethra (prostatic and membranous) -above urogenital diaphragm-: Pelvic fracture
- Anterior urethra (bulbous) -below urogenital diaphragm-: Straddle injury (in children) or blunt trauma to perineum
