[Iconographic presentation of venous ulcers of the toes and thighs].
The author has had experience with ulcers of venous origin on the toes, knee and thigh, and demonstrates some of them. They are rare, and as a general rule are the result of a traumatism (shoes or seating). The author attaches little importance to cosmetic treatment and is strongly opposed to foot baths with Permanganate of K, since they require that the edematous leg remain in a vertical position in the warm water. In addition to elastocompression of the leg, well applied and only for walking, he insists on the efficacy of posture treatment reasonably and conscientiously practiced. The absence of posture treatment is, together with hemopathies and calcinosis, the root cause of so-called long-term ulcers.
