Systematic assessment and the use of check-lists provides diagnostic tools. This review aims to provide clinicians with an overview of the different aetiologies of leg ulcer by describing the clinical characteristics of each aetiology. It also aims to provide tools for health-care providers when assessing a lower-extremity ulcer patient.
