Abstract
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.
