  • Title: The multiple benefits of accurate assessment. Effective management of leg ulcers.
    Author: Ertl P.
    Journal: Prof Nurse; 1993 Nov; 9(2):139-44. PubMed ID: 8234382.
    Abstract:
    1. To be effective, the treatment of leg ulcers should be directed at the underlying cause. 2. If the underlying cause is chronic venous insufficiency, the most effective treatment is compression therapy. 3. There are a number of effective bandaging systems in use; the choice of any particular regimen is of less importance than the skill of the practitioner in applying it. 4. The prevention of recurrence should form a significant part of the care plan.
