Morel Lesion

I have developed a morel lesion following a bad bike crash 6 mo ago. Has anyone ever had the
surgery of debriding this type of lesion? I cannot find much on the net it seems to be somewhat rare.
I cant find anything on recovery time, complications, etc.
Thank you
Mitch

Hi,
A Morel-Lavallée lesion is a closed degloving injury associated with severe trauma to the pelvis. It presents as a hemolymphatic mass located over the external aspect of the thigh. Since Morel-Lavallée first described the lesion in the 19th century, the term has been used to describe similar lesions in other anatomic sites such as the lumbar area and over the scapula. The mechanism of the injury is a sudden violent shear stress to the anterolateral thigh.
The options for management may range from conservative approach to surgical approach.
Injury to the subcutaneous fatty tissue can result in the formation of a pseudocyst due to lymphatic extravasations.

I need help... I keep getting dead end answers from doctors.
I have a LARGE Morel-Lavallee Lesion on my inner knee for 2 months since a accident, where my leg was ran over.

If anyone still reads/answers to this blog let me know... thanks.

I know it has been a couple years from your post but I am having issues with the morel I have on my thigh after a serious pelvic accident last year. I used compression for about 5 months after the accident to reduce the size and when it was not noticeable I stopped. It has now been 13 month from my accident and I woke up with a lot of pain and swelling in my morel. I had a pretty bad cold last week and I am not sure if they are related. Does anyone know what can be causing the sudden inflammation and severe pain?
