Revisiting venous leg ulcer recurrence and compression

O’Donnell and colleagues report the following statistics on venous leg ulcer recurrence (after wound closure had been achieved) : 67% for those receiving no compression; 28% for those receiving compression therapy only; 12% for those treated with superficial venous surgery and compression therapy together. J Vas Surgery 2014
