Abstract
Traumatic injuries to the genitalia are uncommon, in part because of the mobility of the penis and scrotumPenile fracture is the disruption of the tunica albuginea with rupture of the corpus cavernosum. Fracture typicallyoccurs during vigorous sexual intercourse, when the rigid penis slips out of the vagina and strikes the perineum or pubic bone,producing a buckling injury-The diagnosis of penile fracture is often straightforward and can be made reliably by history and physical examination- Immediate surgical reconstruction results in faster recovery, decreased morbidity, lower complication rates, and lower incidence of long-term penile curvature
