Abstract
Presented is the case of a healed fracture of the os penis in a poleca t, aged 2.5 to 3 years. The fracture occurred approximately in the mid dle of the bone's shaft and perpendicular to its long axis. The slight ly dislocated fracture ends were united by a bony fracture callus, exh ibiting a ventral groove for the urethra. It is assumed that the fract ure resulted from an accidental traumatic impact on the baculum.
