- Abstract
Among chronic calf ulcers, which by definition persist for more than 4 to 6 weeks, 60-80% are venous, 10%-30% are arterial and 10%-20% are arteriovenous ulcers. Venous ulcers are treated by compression, dressings and veno-active drugs. For prevention of reoccurrence of healed venous ulcer it is important to treat patient with lifelong compression with or without varix ablation. The goals are better quality of patients' lives, lower disability and social-economic burden for the entire community.
