Comprehensive Guide to Venous Ulcers at the Foot Wound Institute
What Are Venous Leg Ulcers?
Venous leg ulcers are chronic, slow-healing wounds that commonly occur on the lower legs. These ulcers develop due to chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where the veins struggle to circulate blood effectively back to the heart. They are often painful, can become infected, and significantly affect quality of life if not treated properly.
Causes and Symptoms of Venous Ulcers

- History of blood clots

Symptoms to Watch For
Common symptoms of venous ulcers include:
- Open sores on the legs, usually near the ankles
- Swelling, aching, or heaviness in the legs
