摘要
Major contributions to the understanding and management of leg ulcers and wound healing have been made in the last decade. There is still confusion about the exact mechanism of ulcer development and the best method to manage, cure, and prevent them. This article reviews the anatomy of the lower extremity vascular system and discusses arterial and venous leg ulcers. Characteristics of each type of ulcer are described, and the management of underlying vascular disease to support ulcer healing is presented.
