Abstract
Fracture of the penis is a rare condition caused by blunt trauma to the erect penis resulting in tearing of the tunica albuginea. The injury occurs mainly during sexual intercourse or as a result of forceful manipulation. Two cases are described. Diagnosis is based on the patient's narrative and the clinical findings. One patient was treated by immediate surgery, while the other was treated by corrective surgery for his disabling posttraumatic penile deformity. Based on available literature and our own observations we recommend immediate surgical repair in order to avoid serious complications.
