Chapter 112 - Part C: When Development Fails: Hypospadias, Frenulums, and Broken Anatomy

About this episode

This episode explains congenital penile diseases as failed developmental sequencing rather than random defects.

In this BoardsCast episode, we continue Tobias Chapter 112 — Penis and Prepuce with the one reframe that makes congenital penile disease finally make sense: These aren’t “random defects.” They’re failed developmental sequencing that breaks mechanics. Instead of memorizing anomalies, this episode gives you the governing chain: Developmental sequence → anatomy → mechanics → function. We break down the two major failure categories the boards love: Fusion failures (the zipper never closed) → hypo...
