The Morel-Lavallée lesion revisited: management in spinopelvic dissociation

Risk Factors of Surgical Site Infection after Acetabular Fracture Surgery

“…The Morel-Lavallée lesion is a closed degloving injury that is associated with severe trauma such as pelvic and acetabular fracture. If not treated appropriately, these lesions can become infected, cause tissue necrosis, or form chronic seromas [16]. Suzuki et al [11] have reported that the Morel-Lavallée lesion is an independent factor causing infection.…”

Traumatic Spino‐pelvic Dissociation with Bilateral Triangular Fixation

“…report that the occurrence rate of nerve injury in U‐shaped fractures was 94.3%. In our study patients had neurological deficiencies to different degrees. In some cases, the L 5 nerve can be injured as a result of vertical shear displacement of the posterior pelvic ring and far‐out syndrome may occur.…”

“…Soft tissue injuries of the pelvis and peripheral region must receive particular attention. If Morel–Lavallée lesions exist, they must be cured before definitive surgery to avoid severe infections and skin necrosis.…”

Diagnostik und Behandlungsstrategien bei Morel-Lavallée-Läsionen im Wirbelsäulen- und Beckenbereich

“…Bei spinopelvinen Dissoziationen wird von Dodwad et al eine dorsale Stabilisierung der LWS und ein offenes Débridement inkl. VAC-Verband empfohlen [6].…”

“…Besonders häufig wurde die MLL zusammen mit Beckenfrakturen beschrieben [2,4]. Eine MLL in Verbindung mit Wirbelsäulenfrakturen wird bisher nur in vereinzelten Fallberichten beschrieben [5,6]…”
