Abstract:
Morel-Lavallée lesions (MLLs) classically occur in the greater trochanteric region, lateral thigh, buttocks, and back. A high percentage of large MLLs require surgical intervention, which comes with an increased risk of skin necrosis and infection. We report a rare case of a large MLL that was successfully treated with compression. The lesion was created when the patient, a 66-year-old man, sustained a low-velocity crush injury. Extending from the medial distal thigh to the proximal medial calf, the MLL was nonoperatively treated with the short-stretch compression bandaging that is used in lymphedema management. The MLL resolved successfully and without complication or the need for surgical intervention.
