Isolated teratozoospermia does not affect in vitro fertilization outcome and is not an indication for intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
TLDR
Because isolated teratozoospermia generally does not impact on the major indices of IVF, patients need not be subjected to the unnecessary cost and potential risks of ICSI, and future studies should focus on different sperm morphologic and biochemical parameters to determine if they are important for clinical management in IVF.About:

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection for male infertility and consequences for offspring

TL;DR: Existing evidence does not support ICSI in preference over in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the general non-male factor ART population; however, in couples with unexplained infertility, I CSI is associated with lower fertilization failure rates than IVF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in the use of intracytoplasmatic sperm injection marked variability between countries
TL;DR: ICSI is used increasingly, but huge differences exist between countries within Europe, and as it adds additional costs, infertile couples and society may benefit from a less frequent use of ICSI in some countries.

Does severe teratozoospermia affect blastocyst formation, live birth rate, and other clinical outcome parameters in ICSI cycles?
TL;DR: Microscopic selection of sperm with "normal" morphology during the ICSI procedure allowed excellent outcomes even in samples with severe teratozoospermia, suggesting that the diagnostic value of strict morphology in assisted reproductive technology cycles involving ICSi should be reconsidered.

Pregnancies after intracytoplasmic injection of single spermatozoon into an oocyte
TL;DR: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is used to treat couples with infertility because of severely impaired sperm characteristics, and in whom IVF and SUZI had failed.

Sperm morphologic features as a prognostic factor in in vitro fertilization.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a prospective study in women with bilateral tubal damage to determine whether there is a prognostic value in the percentage normal sperm morphologic features in a human in vitro fertilization (IVF) program.

TL;DR: Threshold values for sperm concentration, motility, and morphology can be used to classify men as subfertile, of indeterminate fertility, or fertile and none of the measures are diagnostic of infertility.
