Abstract: This study highlights penile fracture, an important event in some men's lives. Not rare but relatively uncommon in Western countries, penile fracture usually occurs during sexual activity in young men with normal erections. Because the magnitude of the force needed to cause penile fracture is great, the injury is dramatic with sudden brief pain followed by penile swelling and ecchymosis. The authors supply further evidence supporting the value of early surgical treatment of these injuries.
