Summary
Penile fracture is a surgical emergency. Immediate surgical repair offers excellent outcomes, even with associated urethral injury, for patients presenting with this condition.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Trauma Surgery
Background:
- Penile fracture, a rare but serious injury, requires prompt diagnosis and management.
- Understanding the clinical presentation and treatment outcomes is crucial for urologists and trauma surgeons.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the clinical presentation, demographic data, and treatment strategies for penile fracture.
- To evaluate the efficacy of immediate surgical repair in managing penile fractures.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective study was conducted on 36 patients diagnosed with penile fracture at a tertiary care hospital between January 2005 and January 2011.
- Diagnosis was based on clinical findings, and most patients underwent immediate surgical repair.
Main Results:
- The most commonly affected age group was 16–30 years (55.6%).
- Presenting complaints included penile swelling and detumescence during sexual activity.
- Immediate surgical repair yielded excellent results, including cases with concurrent urethral injury.
Conclusions:
- Penile fracture is a surgical emergency necessitating prompt intervention.
- Immediate surgical repair is the recommended treatment, achieving favorable outcomes even with associated urethral damage.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
