CLINICAL AND ETIOLOGICAL STUDY OF LOWER EXTREMITY ULCER CASES

Background:Because of their chronic nature, lower extremity ulcers are the most frequent in our population. By maintaining an upright position, the lower extremities are vulnerable to damage and have their circulation strained. This has implications for researchers and surgeons who have been worried about the causes of their prevalent incidence and the difficulties in curing them. A researcher is looking at the causes of lower extremity ulcers.

Methods:During the study period, 50 patients with various forms of lower extremity ulcers were admitted to the surgical ward. The instances were extensively studied and evaluated in depth. If a clinically dubious case existed, the diagnosis was determined only after histological testing.

Results:Venous 13 (26%) instances were detected in the present, with male (10) and female (3) contributions. The majority of cases (47%) are males between the ages of 41 and 60 years.High saphenous vein ligation with vein stripping (23%) and conservative (15%) therapy was the most prevalent surgical methods utilised to treat Venous ulcers.

Conclusions:Venous ulcers are the most common kind of leg ulcer today, with the highest morbidity. At various levels, the surgical procedures try to prevent venous reflux.Interdisciplinary management of patients with ulcers, educating patients on foot care and the importance of seeking early medical advice.
