Morel-Lavallee lesions. Size matters? Treatment and time of disability.

Introduction: Degloving soft-tissue injuries are serious and potentially devastating medical conditions where an early recognition is a crucial step for a favorable outcome. One of the most important types is Morel-Lavallée lesions (MLL); a significant soft-tissue injury associated with pelvic trauma (30%) and thigh (20%), located over the greater trochanter.

Material And Methods: In this retrospective study we selected adult patients diagnosed with MLL between 2010 and 2019 at our trauma center.
