Erectile dysfunction and penile rehabilitation after pelvic fracture: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the rate of erectile dysfunction (ED) after pelvic ring fracture (PRF).DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.MethodsA systematic literature search of the Cochrane, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science Library databases was conducted in January 2020. Included were original studies performed on humans assessing ED after PRF according to the 5-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire and fracture classification following Young and Burgess, Tile or Arbe… Show more

“…Dysfunction of the pelvic ring after trauma can lead to functional limitations of non-specific daily activities like walking, standing, sitting and disbalance of the lumbosacral region [49]. Furthermore, neurological dysfunction can cause severe morbidity and has a significant negative prognostic value of quality of life [50][51][52]. Hence, early anatomic reduction and stabilization may be associated with an improved neurological recovery [50].…”

“…It seems clear that type A fractures show a lower frequency of SDs than type B and C fractures, in both males and females, because the continuity of the pelvic ring is not interrupted and they do not correlate with large pelvic organ injuries [ 4 ]. Mechanism of trauma, on which is based the tile classification, seems to be crucial in the incidence of SDs [ 20 ]. In fact, in our sample of patients, group A revealed a smaller number of associated injuries, and a significantly shorter hospitalization time when compared to groups B and C. This had a positive psychophysical impact on the patient, as evidenced by the excellent results of the SF-12 quality of life questionnaire, which could be protective against the onset of SD.…”

“…The most common cause of pelvic fractures is high‐energy trauma, which includes traffic accidents, crush, and fall injuries 4 . Studies have shown that complications of pelvic fractures include chronic pain, gait disturbance, post‐traumatic osteoarthritis, and sexual dysfunction 5–10 . Early identification and effective management are crucial to patient survival and functional recovery.…”

The management of unstable pelvic fractures is challenging, and Tile C pelvic injury is a typical unstable pelvic injury characterized by rotational and vertical instability.…”
