[IndianRasputin]

Seems like maybe over time there will be more and more in the "mallabble clan" ..

Found a t shirt for the clan

Hard to come up with a number. I've heard Dr. Eid, who has done 7000+ implants mention the word "lifetime" for malleables. Fractures are extremely rare.

To give you a perspective from an older study that included the following pre-2000 Malleables:

Acu-Form Mentor (Coloplast acquired Mentor urology in 2006)
Small-Carrion
AMS 600–650
Finney
Jonas

Of the 393 malleables that were implemented in a study between August 1975 and December 2000 - There were 2 rod fractures, one after 6 years (Acu-Form Mentor) and another after 9 years (AMS 600).

That's a 0.5% mechanical failure rate in 1-25 years of follow-up.

When the manufacturers start sending me checks for my marketing genius I'll be distributing the funds in a pool here, lol

Read recently about a new implant they war working on that is "activated" by a magnetic wand of some type .. not sure of all the facts but it was on the sexual medicine site as news.

I'm guessing the fracture depending on the situation can lead to injury to the tissue?

Yes. Here's a case report for a scary-looking fracture of the 90s AMS 650 where the stainless steel core has fractured and come out of the silicone sheath. Even in this scary case, the tissue seems to be intact. The surgical capsule that forms over the rods acts like a jacket and protects the rods from displacing in crazy ways we can imagine. Yes, tissue injury is possible, depending on the severity of trauma as with accidents in general.

Case report:
A 36-year-old man with organic erectile dysfunction due to corporeal veno-occlusive dysfunction came to our clinic for treatment with an AMS 650 malleable penile prosthesis in 1999. His postoperative follow-up was uneventful and he had been satisfied with the device for 14 years. In 2014, he complained of a decrease in penile rigidity, bending of the penis to the left side and a crackling sound during sexual intercourse lasting for the preceding 6 weeks. On physical examination, the left and right rods were instable at 1/3 proximal and 1/3 distal parts, respectively. There was no edema, local tenderness or erythema on the sites of instability. The broken part of the left rod was confirmed by plain X-ray film. On further questioning, the patient stated that he did not have any vigorous intercourse or any trauma that may have caused the breakage. Surgical exploration was performed through a midline penoscrotal incision. The corporal bodies were intact. After the removal of both rods, we implanted a new malleable device during the same session.

You spend a lot of time reading about Malleable’s which is great I think you should get one and get it over with .. less time spent thinking more time using the third leg ..
