The punchline from the study:
Before therapy the median value for
stretched penile length was 14.0 cm (range 11 to 17, 14.20
1.10). With the initiation of therapy a gradual decrease in
stretched penile length was observed until 18 months (see
table). A significant correlation existed between baseline
length and percentage of penile shortening (p 0.001). At 12
months patients whose baseline penile length was less than
14 cm had a significantly lower percentage of shortening
than those with a baseline of 14 cm or greater, p 0.01 (less
than 14 cm, median decrease 24%; 14 cm or greater, median
decrease 35.7%).
