A propósito de un caso y revisión de la literatura.

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of erectile dysfunction as a result of traction on the fracture table. METHODS: We report on a 39-year-old man who developed erctile dysfunction postoperatively and for several months thereafter, following intramedullary nailing with the Grosse-Kept bolt type fixation system. RESULTS: The patient spontaneously recovered erectile function six months after orthopaedic treatment. CONCLUSION: Erectile dysfunction induced by orthopaedic fracture table is a complication that should be taken into account. There are many procedures available to reduce the risk of this complication.
