What risks are invovled inaspirating a hematoma in the calf muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hematoma aspiration: Aspirating a hematoma is primary risky because of introducing an infection, although the risk is very low. If the hematoma is painful and makes it difficult to walk, it's probably worth the risk, otherwise the body can probably absorb it over time....
