Morel-Lavellée lesions are soft tissue degloving injuries resulting from shearing trauma that induces separation of the superficial and deep fascias creating a potential space that becomes filled with hemolymph. Here we present a case of a 28-year-old male presenting with a persistent Type I Morel-Lavallée lesion 2.5 years after an automobile versus pedestrian accident. These lesions can be vis...

We report a rare case of dislocation of second to fourth carpometacarpal (CMC) joints of the right hand with combined dorsal and ulnarward displacement of the second to fourth digits and fracture of the shaft of the first metacarpal associated with degloving injury. These injuries were diagnosed early and treated successfully with closed reduction and internal fixation using Kirschner wires. Th...

OBJECTIVES To present our experience with diagnosis and surgical management of penile fracture PATIENTS AND METHODS We present six cases of penile fracture managed at our unit between 2003 and 2008. The diagnosis was based on clinical presentation and physical examination. The treatment was surgical in all cases with Subcoronal circumferential degloving incision, evacuation of hematoma and re...

We described a 27-year-old case of avulsion and traumatic degloving of penile with extensive penis skin necrosis. Under general anesthesia, donor skin was partially resected from lower limbs according to defect area of penile skin. Then shear the shape of graft was sheared, sutured to hostage skin defect and enswathed with tension. The posto-perative appearance and function of the penis were sa...

Morel-Lavallée lesions are a relatively rare clinical problem, referring to closed degloving injuries around the pelvis or proximal femur, but have also been described in other areas of the body. The pathology involves a shearing of the hypodermis from the underlying fascia, with disruption of the perforating arteries and lymphatic plexus. In the early stages, there is predominantly accumulatio...
