[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].
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.
