“…Although cheap, feasible, and noninvasive [49,50], this imaging modality is operator dependent and lacks tissue contrast [17,48]. Magnetic resonance imaging has been proposed to be the most accurate modality for evaluating patients with acute penile trauma [51]. It can accurately demonstrate the extent and location of the tunical tear and associated injuries to the corpus spongiosum and urethra owing to its multiplanar capabilities, and good spatial and tissue contrast resolution [19,52].…”

Introduction Penile fracture is a well-recognized clinical entity. It is relatively uncommon and is considered a urological emergency. Its management has been a subject of controversy. Aim In this article, we will review contemporary knowledge of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, evaluation, and evolving management strategies of penile fracture. Methods A case report was discussed followed by an English-language Medline review. Main Outcome Measure Review of the available literature to establish best-practice management. Results The injury is defined as the traumatic rupture of the corpus cavernosum secondary to a blunt trauma of the erect penis. The condition is underreported. The commonest causes were coital injuries and penile manipulation. The diagnosis was usually fairly straightforward because of the stereotypical clinical presentation. Associated injuries included urethral rupture. Imaging was helpful in selected cases. Conservative measures were associated with increased complications. Most authors advocated early surgical repair. False explorations have been reported. Conclusions Penile fracture is a clinical diagnosis. The ideal management has evolved and remains largely surgical. Preoperative imaging should not delay surgical repair.

Injury may result from penetrating and non-penetrating traumas to the erect or to the flaccid penis, and from acute bending of the erect shaft. Subcutaneous or intracorporeal hematomas, tunical disruption, and urethral lesions may result. The spectrum of injuries resulting from traumas to the flaccid and to the erect penis is different, since the possibility to bend, the degree of motility, and position of the organ differ substantiall
