(Background) Penile fracture as a result of sexual activity is exceedingly rare. Therefore, few studies have investigated it specifically in Japan. (Methods) We evaluated the clinical features and complications of all patients with penile fractures treated at Jikei University Hospital between 2005 and 2017. A total of 16 patients were identified and their etiologies, symptoms, treatment strategy, operative approach, and complications were reviewed. (Results) The median patient age was 41 years (range: 22-67). We were able to identify the etiology in 15 patients: 5 patients (31%) had suffered the fracture during sexual intercourse and 4 (25%) during masturbation. All patients were not suspected of having urethral injury. Eight patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to surgical repair. Disruption of tunica albuginea could be identified in all 7 patients with decent descriptions of the findings recorded for review. All patients underwent surgery, and the ruptured tunica albuginea was repaired. None of the patients developed erectile dysfunction (ED) but 1 patient (6%) had postoperative penile curvature. (Conclusions) Penile fracture most frequently occurred during sexual intercourse and masturbation. Our series had no ED, but longer follow-up is needed to draw definitive conclusions.
