Venous insufficiency is the most common cause of leg ulcers. Venous insufficiency is often caused by deep thrombosis or weakness of the valve system of the lower leg superficial veins, but the wound may also be caused due to, for example, arterial circulatory disorders, vasculitis or diabetes. The first sign of venous insufficiency is lower leg swelling but also eczema around the ankle, caused by venous stasis, can be an early marker (Mayrovitz and Larsen, 1997). The most important treatment is to counteract the oedema condition, which can be done by keeping the leg in a raised position or by applying a compression bandage to the leg (Reichenberg and Davis, 2005 Rajendran et al., 2007).
