Leg / Foot Ulcers

Diabetes is the most common cause of foot ulcers.  Failure of the venus system is the most common cause of ankle and leg ulcers.  Prompt treatment of foot ulcers is necessary to prevent soft tissue or bone infection from developing and to avoid amputation of a toe or foot.  Treatment focuses on elimination of infection, debridement of nonviable tissue, and offloading.
