title: Impotence after fractures of the pelvis.
abstract: 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.
