Combination of a drainage tube and fenestrated topical negative-pressure device for the management of Morel-Lavallée lesions

Background Morel-Lavallée lesions (MLLs) are post-traumatic, closed degloving injuries that occur as a result of the separation of subcutaneous tissue from the underlying fascia.1 Management of MLLs is complex.2 We report a technique that combines drainage tubes and topical negative pressure (TNP) t...
