AB  - An  understanding  of  the  pathophysiology,  diagnosis,  and  management  of  leg  ulcers  is  very  important  to  health  care  providers  as  these  occur  in  a  significant  number  of  patients.  Approximately  1%  to  3%  of  the  population,  or  up  to  9  million  people  in  the  United  States  are  affected.1  The  annual  cost  of  leg  ulcers  is  proposed  to  be  $8  to  $10  billion  per  year,  with  an  estimated  loss  of  2  million  workdays  per  year.2  The  majority  of  leg  ulcers  are  seen  in  middle-aged  to  elderly  patients,  and  there  is  a  female:male  predilection  of  2:1.  The  three  most  common  types  of  leg  ulcers  are  venous,  arterial,  and  neuropathic.
