Assessment ofLeg Ulceration
KAREN STAINES AND ABY MITCHELL
leg ulcer is a break in the skin below the knee that has not
A
healed within a two- week period (NICE2021). A lower limb assessment is essential to identify the risk factors for developing leg ulceration and delayed healing. There is currently no pathway for preventing primary leg ulcers and management in clinical practice tends to be reactive rather than proactive. According to the Com­missioning for Quality and Innovation system (CQUIN; CCG11), all patients should receive a full lower limb assessment following referral to a service within 28days of a non- healing wound. A holis­tic lower limb assessment includes patient assessment, leg assess­ment and wound and skin assessment (Wounds UK2022) and it is essential to identify contributory and causative factors to aid in diagnosis (Mitchell2020). Accurate and timely wound assessment underpins eective clinical practice, decision­patient- centred goals and reducing morbidity and costs associated with long- term wound care. Furthermore, early assessment, diagnosis and intervention are essential to reduce the burden of venous disease and improve quality of life (Mitchell and Elbourne2020). Fundamentally this is where understanding and patient partnership start.

ASSESSMENT
It is essential to establish the underlying cause of leg ulceration to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary delays in healing (Wounds UK 2016). All patients with a wound on the lower limb should be assessed to determine the vascular status of the limb prior to com­mencing treatment with strong compression therapy. In the absence of red ags, mild compression therapy can be commenced immediately to prevent deterioration while the person awaits full assessment, including assessment of the ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI). This is referred to as ‘early intervention’ and is advocated by the National Wound Care Strategy; it is explained in more detail in Chapter 9. Wound care should be considered a specialist segment of healthcare that requires additional training to assess, diagnose and manage (Guest etal.2015). Leg ulcer assessment is a complex skill and should only be undertaken by healthcare professionals who have the appropriate level of skills and prociency (Mitchell 2017). A structured assessment is key to gathering and interpreting data about the patient, conrming the patient’s specic requirements and reasons for assessment.
Good history taking is pivotal to decision- making and will form the basis for multifaceted diagnoses including medical, psychosocial and psychological. (See Chapter7 for a focus on developing person­alised assessment.) A full medical history should also include any co-
morbidities or surgical procedures, which may be causative fac-
tors in the development of a leg ulcer.
HISTORY TAKING
Age
Increasing age leads to degenerative changes and atrophy of the smooth muscle layer in the vein, which increases susceptibility to dila­tion (Robertson2013) and thus the presence of venous disease. The presence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) also increases with age.
Family History
A family history of venous disease is commonly associated with valve dysfunction leading to venous hypertension (Ortega etal.2021). Ask the patient if any rst- degree relative has a history of telangiectasis,

https://t.me/medicina_free
varicose veins, blood clots in the lower limbs, a current or previous leg ulcer, phlebitis, pulmonary embolism or any other venous problems (Cirqui etal.2007). If both parents have varicose veins, the ospring have a 90% chance of developing them (Collares and Faintuch2017).
Medical History
Check the patient’s medical status and whether ongoing medical support is required for any pre- existing conditions.
Medications
Medications and their side eects may cause a delay in wound heal­ing, make the person increase the risk of wound infection or be a contributory factor in ulceration. There are certain medications that can exacerbate and further increase the risk of leg ulceration, as dis­cussed (see Chapter8). It is important to discuss medications with the person and the prescriber.
Previous Surgery
Limb, abdominal, bypass or amputation surgery may cause disrup­tion and damage to the circulatory system. A venous thrombus epi­sode (VTE) can occur in between 10% and 14% of patients after major abdominal surgery (Theochari etal.2022).
Deep Vein Thrombosis
People who have a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) have an increased risk of ulceration due to damage to the deep veins.
Previous Trauma
There is an increased risk of DVT following a fracture of the lower limb (Mioc etal.2018). Any break in skin integrity from trauma can also inuence the disruption to the lymphatic system (Minasian etal.2022). The supercial lymphatics can be found in the dermis layer of the skin, resulting in an increase in localised oedema if these become damaged.

Haemorrhoids andConstipation
Ask the patient if they are suering from haemorrhoids and/or constipation. The results of the CHORUS study found that over 50% of patients who had a history of haemorrhoids and constipation also had venous disease with a CEAP classication (see Table 5.2) up to C2 (Godeberge etal.2019).
Diabetes/Associated Peripheral Neuropathy
People diagnosed with diabetes are at greater risk of having small vessel disease and nerve damage, with one in four patients having peripheral neuropathy (NHS2022). This can result in pressure dam­age occurring due to a lack of sensation without the patient feeling pain. Furthermore, uncontrolled blood glucose levels can mean that the person with diabetes has an increased risk of infection and delayed wound healing. See Box5.1 on monolament testing.
Box 5.1 Monolament Testing forNeuropathy
Monolament testing is used in the presence of diabetes or when there is concern about peripheral neuropathy being present. Using a monolament is an inexpensive portable test for assessing the loss of protective sensations in the foot. Monolaments are single- bre nylon threads that generate a buckling stress; the higher the value or weight of the thread, the harder it is to bend.
In normal practice a 10 g monolament is used at various points on the plantar aspect of the foot. The patient is assessed with their eyes closed or head turned so that they cannot see where the monolament is being placed. They are to tell the clini­cian when they feel their foot being touched. A lack of response needs to be checked, but will denote a lack of sensation and the protective function.
This patient will then have a reduced pain response, which has clinical implications for management and use of compression therapy. Use local guidelines and referral mechanisms.

Cancer Diagnosis or Treatment
Cancer itself can cause occlusion, depending on tumour location. Cancer treatment can aect the lymphatic system, leading to an increased risk of oedema. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can adversely impact the immune system and destroy cells, which delays wound healing (Deptuła etal.2019).
Inflammatory andAuto- immune Conditions
People who have underlying auto- immune conditions can have an increased risk of developing ulceration. Conditions such as pyoderma gangrenosum and vasculitis may need medical management to guide medication as well as wound management and compression therapy; read more about this in Chapter3.
Haematological Disorders
Disorders of the blood may have contributed to the presenting ulceration or reduced healing potential, depending on the type of haematological disorder, such as sickle cell disease (SCD), anaemia or haemophilia. People diagnosed with SCD are 10 times more at risk of developing a leg ulcer than the general population (Young2020). See Chapter3.
Respiratory Disorders
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or similar respiratory disorders may have increased oedema due to breathlessness. Caution may be needed to ensure that compression therapy will not exacerbate breathlessness. A quarter of patients with COPD have cor pulmonale (right- sided heart failure), which can lead to increased oedema and shortness of breath (Robinson and Scullion2021).
Cardiac Vascular History
Previous myocardial infarction or angina may indicate a reduction of oxygenated blood that increases the chance of developing leg ulcers and causes a delay in healing. People with a diagnosis of heart failure

https://t.me/medicina_free
need to be carefully monitored and discussed with the wider multidisciplinary team to ensure that any treatment will not cause an increase in cardiac oedema. For most people, unless they are in unstable heart failure, compression is a safe and necessary intervention. See Chapter8.
Phlebitis
Inammation of the veins can again cause long- term damage and be a causative factor for ulceration.
Hypertension
Patients may have hypertension from an underlying condition of high cholesterol, previous myocardial Infarction (MI), transient ischaemic attack (TIA), stroke or kidney disease and are at a greater risk of cardiovascular disease. If not well controlled, this may also result in an abnormal ABPI.
Infection
A local or systemic infection will delay wound healing.
Pregnancy
Ask if the patient is pregnant. Cyclical changes in females’ progesterone levels aect the vein wall and valves. The risk increases during pregnancy whereby blood volume is increased, and the enlarging uterus can restrict venous return (Nicholls2005). Females who have a history of pregnancy have an 82% higher risk of varicose veins compared to those who have never been pregnant (Ismail etal.2016).
Allergies or Known Sensitivities
Patients with venous leg ulcers are prone to increased sensitivity. This may occur after prolonged use of certain dressings or emollients. The most frequent allergen groups are fragrances (30.5%), antimicrobials (19.5%), topical excipients (19.5%), rubber accelerators (13.5%) and topical corticosteroids (8%) (Tavadia et al. 2003). It is
