Risk Stratification for Erectile Dysfunction After Pelvic Fracture Urethral Injuries

ED was more severe following PFUI than pelvic fracture alone. We suspect that urethral injury is not the direct cause of ED, but rather a surrogate for extensive pelvic injury and risk for neurovascular injury. A larger prospective analysis is warranted to clarify this hypothesis and to further stratify risk factors for developing ED in pelvic fracture patients with and without urethral injuries.
