title: [Erectile dysfunction caused by neurapraxia of the pudendal nerve after the use of a traction table for the treatment of traumatic fractures. Report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: 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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
