The article adduces the clinical case of a rare lesion, a traumatic soft-tissue degloving injury (TSDI) caused by knee injuries in a child. According to the literature, skin degloving injury occurs after car wheel running on foot, falling from heights, hit of a heavy object, compression between cars, carts, trolleys, dragging body on the ground. These are the main factors that cause TSDI. Despite the fact that in 1848 this injury was described by the French surgeon Morel-Lavallet the following lesion was not studied enough by now. Surgeons, traumatologists may not always recognize it in time what leads to late and inadequate treatment. Injuries of the knee joint in children with hematomas of any location who are resistant to conservative treatment should be assessed as serious damage for the purpose of TSDI recognition. Modern diagnostic methods such as ultrasound, MRI must be used.
