ABSTRACT

Serious soft tissue lesions in patients with high energy trauma are usually underdiagnosed. They are considered as true surgical emergencies that, without an early diagnosis and treatment, lead to high morbidity and mortality rates. We report herein the case of a patient who sustained a high energy lesion and developed compartmental syndrome of the thigh associated with a Morel-Lavallée lesion, including the therapeutic approach used and the results obtained.
