title: [Para-tibial fasciotomy].
abstract: Fifty patients with large venous ulcers have been surgically treated by paratibial fasciotomy plus dissection of incompetent perforating veins since January 1990. The operative mortality rate was 0.0%. A single significant complication (hematoma) required a secondary operation. Forty-eight ulcers healed within 8 weeks completely. In two cases, the venous ulcers recurred. Healing could be obtained under conservative treatment. Our results suggest that paratibial fasciotomy is the method of choice for the treatment of chronic deep venous insufficiency stage III after unsuccessful conservative treatment.
