“…After negative pressure sealing, negative pressure in the wound may remain unobstructed for a long time to ensure the drainage effect. Negative pressure reduces infection, cleans the environment and controls the pressure in the skin graft area, all of which are conducive to the survival of avulsed skin (24). In the present case, the degloved skin completely survived after negative pressure drainage and the granulation tissue of the skin defect wound grew well, which created conditions optimal for skin-flap transplantation.…”

Gustilo-Anderson III Type C open fracture is a high-energy injury with severe bone defects and extensive soft-tissue and vascular damage. Successful limb salvage remains challenging for surgeons due to the inherent risks of vascular damage, infection, nonunion and even amputation. The present case study reports on a 55-year-old male who presented with a Gustilo-Anderson III type C open fracture, which was successfully salvaged by a combined Masquelet and microsurgical approach. The modified Sauve-Kapandji technique was used to improve wrist mobility. Sufficient preoperative evaluation, a detailed surgical plan, positive revascularization, thorough debridement and prevention of complications are key to successful limb salvage. The range of motion test was excellent one year after surgery. The patient was able to take care of their daily life, return to performing a light-labor job and is satisfied with the function of the limb. Therefore, the Masquelet technique combined with modified Sauve-Kapandji technique, negative pressure drainage and skin-flap transplantation may be a reasonable and effective treatment for Gustilo-Anderson III type C open forearm fracture.

“…Although many studies have reported the efficacy of various treatment regimens, such as conservative treatment, percutaneous aspiration, sclerotherapy, minimally invasive surgery, open surgery, or negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), high-quality evidence remains lacking. [5,[7][8][9][10] To the best of our knowledge, the number of cases of MLL treated with portable NPWT is very small and no reviews have been reported.…”

Background: A Morel–Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a traumatic, internal closed degloving injury that results from shearing of subcutaneous tissue away from underlying fascia, usually associated with high-velocity trauma. Case presentation: A 52-year-old man was transported to hospital for further follow-up of a superficial femoral artery injury. Examination on admission showed bruising seen around the left thigh. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the left thigh revealed hematoma with extravasation from a branch of the left superficial femoral artery, but no apparent aneurysms or femoral fractures. The patient was treated with compression bandages and discharged on hospital day 6. He left hospital able to walk unaided. He subsequently complained of left thigh pain with swelling and visited the hospital several times. He was treated at another outpatient clinic and was diagnosed with MLL. Single-use disposable portable negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) was applied for about 2 months, achieving a stable wound site. Conclusion: We encountered a case of MLL successfully treated with single-use portable NPWT. This report presents the case of a patient with isolated MLL without fracture in the left thigh, in which the diagnosis was missed on initial admission. Finally, the patient received minor interventions including drainage along with tissue debridement and portable NPWT. We reviewed the relevant literature and summarize the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment strategies for MLL. Emergency physicians require an increased understanding of MLL to avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
