Circular crural ulcer; its surgical therapy.

T Hrabovszky

    Acta Chirurgica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae
    |January 1, 1977

    Summary

    Surgical therapy for severe crural ulcers involving wide excision and split-thickness skin grafting demonstrated excellent functional outcomes two years post-operation. This innovative approach can help patients avoid amputation and achieve long-term symptom relief.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Dermatology
    • Regenerative Medicine

    Background:

    • Crural ulcers represent a significant challenge in wound care, often leading to debilitating symptoms and potential amputation.
    • Standard treatments may be insufficient for severe, deep ulcerations involving fascial layers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a surgical technique for managing severe crural ulcers.
    • To evaluate the long-term functional outcomes of this therapeutic approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Two cases of severe crural ulcers underwent wide and deep excision of the ulcer and involved fascia.
    • Defects were reconstructed using split-thickness skin grafts.
    • Innovations included mesh grafting in one case and a two-stage excision to prevent secondary shrinking in the other.

    Main Results:

    • Both patients achieved unobjectionable functional results two years after surgery.
    • The surgical technique successfully managed severe ulcerations without necessitating amputation.

    Conclusions:

    • This surgical therapy, incorporating mesh grafting or staged excision, offers a viable alternative to amputation for severe crural ulcers.
    • The method provides long-term symptom freedom and good functional recovery in challenging cases.
