[The Morel-Lavallée lesion: a conservative approach to closed degloving injuries].
We evaluated the results of conservative treatment for closed degloving injuries (Morel-Lavallée lesion) of the pelvic girdle and lower extremities. ⋯ Closed degloving lesions in the pelvic and gluteal regions can be managed conservatively when the overlying skin is intact and the fluid accumulation is not excessive.
