文摘

Pelvic ring fractures constitute 3%–8% of all fractures of the skeletal system and are generally related with high energy trauma. Sexual dysfunction following pelvic fracture has a high incidence, and affects the male patients both physically and psychologically. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact and frequencies of comorbidities such as erectile dysfunction (ED) with adverse sociocultural and psychological consequences for the patient who had a pelvic ring fracture.

Methods

This study included 26 men who corresponded to the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate our study.

Results

According to fracture types, most of our cases were Tile type A1 and type A2. Severe and moderate ED were detected in 46.1% (12/26) of these patients via the International Index of Erectile Function-5 questionnaire.

Conclusion

ED develops following pelvic fractures, especially in Tile type B and C pelvic fractures.
