Objectives: To study clinical features and treatment of patients
diagnosed with fractured penis.
Methods: All patients diagnosed with penis fracture from March
2000-March 2007 were retrospectively studied. No invasive
investigation was used for diagnosis.
Results: Surgical intervention was done in 52 patients while
5 patients were managed conservatively. The constant finding
recorded in all cases was that penis fracture occurred in erect
penises. Most fractures were observed in the 16-30 years age
group (50.88%). Left lateral tear was present in 53.84% cases.
One patient had gangrene of penile skin after surgery.
Conclusion: Penis Fracture is not so uncommon as reported. A
trauma to erect penis is mandatory for fracture to occur. Surgical
intervention is the preferred mode of treatment.
