Impotence after fractures of the pelvis
J King
Sexual impotence after an injury causing a fracture of the pelvis occurred
in sixteen of ninety male patients. Three men of fifty-nine had this
complication without having an associated injury to the urethra, but
impotence was more commonly associated with urethral injury (thirteen of
thirty-one cases). Litigation did not seem to be associated with the
problem.
