Pentoxifylline can aid ulcer healing. Artificial skin grafts are more effective than other skin grafts in helping ulcer healing. Correction of underlying venous incompetence reduces ulcer recurrence.Implementation: Potential pitfalls to avoid are:• Failure to exclude underlying arterial disease before application of compression.• Unusual-looking ulcers or those slow to heal should be biopsied to exclude malignant transformation.Keywords: venous ulceration, ulcer healing | ||
