Morel-Lavallée syndrome of the tibia.
Morel-Lavallée syndrome of the tibia is a rarely published entity which needs special attention in the treatment of the degloving injury conjoined with tibial fracture. The authors present the case of a radiologically easily manageable tibial fracture complicated by soft tissue damage. The authors discuss the pertinent literature, the pitfalls and controversies of the treatment and the authors would like to offer our suggestions for minimising the complications.
