Fracture penis--a study of twenty cases

During the period from June 1985 to December 1999 a total of 20 male patients of 17-52 years age group were managed for traumatic fracture of the penile shaft. Diagnosis in all cases was established by history and careful physical examination. All but one underwent early surgical intervention and repair of the fractured part. Twelve patients, who reported for treatment within 36 hrs. of injury had good results. Of the 7 patients, who reported after 36 hrs. of injury 4 had good and 3 had fair results. One patient who presented on the 7th day after injury didn't undergo surgery and developed fibrous chordee within next six months.
