In the examination performed 3 days after the traffic accident, it was determined that there was a subcutaneous fluid accumulation from the right lumbar region to the knee and up to the distal left glutea, and it was aspirated with an incision. The case who applied to the outpatient clinic in 2020 for disability evaluation had complaints of swelling in both thighs, pain and limpness in walking, sequelae changes that were considered to be related to the accident were determined in the examination, and his disability rate was performed within the context of relevant guideline.
