J Coll Physicians Surg Pak. 2022 Dec;32(12):SS89-SS91. doi: 10.29271/jcpsp.2022.Supp0.SS89.

Abstract

Penile fracture is an uncommon acute surgical emergency, typically occurring after sexual intercourse, self-manipulation and at times, may be accidental. We report here a 39-year male who attended the department of emergency with swelling and bruising of the scrotum and penis. Physical examination exhibited a diffuse abdominal and perineal ecchymosis. Imaging confirmed a crural penile fracture. Operative fixation was performed appropriately and satisfactory erectile function was reported at the follow-up. We report a very rarely documented case involving the penile crus fracture and its management. Key Words: Crus, Penile fracture, Surgical repair.
