Following diagnostic ultrasound and aspiration performed by a sports medicine physician, the patient slowly returned back to soccer and flag football with compression and protection over the site of the lesion. The patient was able to return to full athletic participation with no residual symptoms and no complications. The prompt identification, referral, and treatment of the Morel-Lavall\u00e9e lesion is encouraged by the existing literature to prevent complications such as necrosis, tissue damage, and infection. Communication between the sports medicine physician and the athletic trainer is important to enable patient monitoring and treatment adjustments as well as patient follow-up throughout the course of healing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-0022.25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,23]],"date-time":"2025-09-23T00:32:10Z","timestamp":1758587530000},"page":"149-152","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Lower Leg Morel-Lavall\u00e9e Lesion in a Female High School Athlete: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.4085","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Samara","family":"Johnson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jesse","family":"Fodero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, Cheektowaga, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anthony","family":"Surace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2557","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"i1938-162X-61-2-149-b01","series-title":"Indian J Radiol Imaging","first-page":"288","article-title":"Morel-Lavall\u00e9e lesion: a closed degloving injury that requires real attention","volume":"24","author":"Nair","year":"2014","unstructured":"Nair AV,\nNazar P,\nSekhar R,\nRamachandran P,\nMoorthy S.
