Sažetak

Chronic leg ulcers have a slow healing tendency. The main causes are chronic venous insuficiency, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, diabetes and neuropathy. Some leg ulcers are caused by combinations of these well known etiologic factors. Causal treatment should have priority. Despite numerous advances, chronic wounds remain a therapeutic challenge. The authors present results of a survey conducted in Zagreb over a six-month period in 2014. The survey was carried out at the Zagreb Municipal health Service and University Department of Dermatovenereology, Sestre milosrdnice University hospital Center, Reference Center for Chronic Wounds of the Ministry of health of the Republic Croatia. The results show the share of each type of ulcer according to etiology, age and gender, as well as the mean duration of each type of ulcer, results of color duplex ultrasound and use of compression therapy in patients with venous ulcers.
