  • Title: [Chronic venous insufficiency--from pathophysiology to therapy. 4: Treatment of ulcus cruris--therapy guidelines].
    Author: Peschen M, Petter O, Vanscheidt W.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1996 Oct 30; 114(30):395-7. PubMed ID: 9026497.
    Abstract:
    In the field of phlebology and angiology, leg ulcer represents a complex diagnostic and therapeutic problem. The initial steps include the taking of a careful history, inspection and palpation, and thorough angiological investigation which, where the individual situation makes this necessary, must be supplemented by such further diagnostic measures as biopsy, laboratory investigations or even allergy tests. Subsequent treatment must be stage-matched and must meet the individual needs of the patient. Both conservative and surgical forms of treatment are available.
