Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Penile fracture is a rare urological occurrence resulting from a tear in the tunica albuginea of the penis. In this study, 26 patients diagnosed with a penile fracture were treated with early surgical correction. The mean age at the time of the injury was 41.7 years. The average follow-up time of the study population was 28.8 months. The mean time from fracture to surgery was 15.6 ± 19.9 h. In total, 23% of the patients had a penile nodule and 11.5% of these patients reported penile deviation. Post surgery, erectile dysfunction (ED) was present in nine (34.6%) patients. During the follow-up, the mean International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) score was 20.9 ± 4.3 (10–25). There was no significant difference in the time from fracture to surgery among the patients with or without ED. However, the tunical tear size was significantly larger in the patients with ED as compared with those without ED. Furthermore, the patients with ED were older than those without ED. Older age and the size of the tunical tear appeared to be correlated with the development of ED. However, prospective large series are needed to confirm these results.
