A new means of assessing healing in chronic venous ulceration
Abstract:
A new method of assessing venous ulceration has been developed using a camera, slide projector, viewing box and planimeter. This method is accurate and reproducible. Thirteen patients with chronic venous ulcers were studied. The method enabled a healing curve to be constructed for each ulcer. The healing rate for the group was determined by construction of a linear regression line of best fit through the averaged data points. This method allows accurate comparisons to be made between treatment regimes.
