The great majority of chronic leg ulcers are caused by disturbances of venous and arterial circulation in the lower extremities. Diagnostics and treatment of ulcers require multiprofessional collaboration. The cornerstone of the treatment is conservative treatment intervening in the underlying causes of the ulceration. If the ulcer is large or recovery does not take place with appropriate conservative therapy, reconstructive surgery may come into question, i.e. surgical excision of the ulcer and its covering with a skin graft.
