Abstract
Lower leg ulcers have a high in incidence in general population and are associated with a significant morbidity rate. Wide differential diagnosis considering their etiology poses considerable problem, as the causes are diverse including metabolic, immune, oncologic, vascular and mixed ones. Approach to treatment should be multidisciplinary, and among

Along with reconstructive methods, there are complementary methods, mainly from the field of vascular surgery; when combined, they produce good results.
