Abstract

The authors describe the case of a 60-year-old woman patient with a crural ulcer with a traumatic, arterial, venous and lymphatic aetiology. After three-year unsuccessful treatment by conventional methods and surgery a combination of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and plastic surgery was used. This rational therapeutic approach was very effective and the authors recommend its introduction into routine practice.
