The document provides tips for using a PowerPoint presentation on ulcers, suggesting that the user can freely edit the presentation. It recommends showing blank slides on ulcer topics to students first to elicit their existing knowledge before presenting information, and repeating this process for active learning. The presentation also contains notes with bibliographic references and classifications and examinations of different types of ulcers.

1. Tips on using my ppt.
1. You can freely download, edit, modify and put your
name etc.
2. Don’t be concerned about number of slides. Half the
slides are blanks except for the title.
3. First show the blank slides (eg. Aetiology ) > Ask
students what they already know about ethology of
today's topic. > Then show next slide which enumerates
aetiologies.
4. At the end rerun the show – show blank> ask questions >
show next slide.
5. This will be an ACTIVE LEARNING SESSION x
three revisions.
6. Good for self study also.
7. See notes for bibliography.
18. Arterial Ulcer
• Caused due to peripheral vascular disease
• LL : Atherosclerosis & TAO
• UL : Cervical Rib, Raynauds
• Chief complaint : Severe Pain
• Toes, Feet, Legs & UL Digits
27. Bazin’s Ulcer
• Erythema induratum, also known as nodular
vasculitis or Bazin disease,
• Categorized as a tuberculid skin eruption,
which is a group of skin conditions
associated with an underlying or silent
focus of tuberculosis
• They are sequelae of immunologic reactions
to hematogenously dispersed antigenic
components of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
29. Martorell’s Ulcer
•in middle-aged women.
•a painful ulceration of the lower leg associated
with diastolic arterial hypertension.
•It is characterized by single or multiple small
homogeneous, symmetrical ulcers most
commonly located on the anterolateral aspect of
the lower leg.
•The pain associated to these lesions is often
disproportionate to their size not relieved by rest
or elevation.
39. • INSPECTION
Location, size, shape, floor, edge, discharge, surround-
ing area.
• PALPATION
Tenderness, local rise of temperature, bleeding on
touch, consistency of the ulcer, edge, surrounding area -
oedema, mobility. Proe to bbone test
• REGIONAL LYMPH NODES
• SENSATIONS
• PULSATIONS
• FUNCTION OF THE JOINT
• SYSTEMIC EXAMINATION
43. LOCATION OF THE ULCER
Arterial ulcer Tip of the toes,
dorsum of the foot
Long saphenous
varicosity with ulcer
Medial side of the
leg.
Short saphenous
varicosity with ulcer
Lateral side of the
leg.
Perforating ulcers Over the sole at
pressure points.
Nonhealing ulcer Over the shin
45. FLOOR OF THE ULCER

exposed or seen.

50. EDGE
DEF: This is between the floor of the ulcer and the
margin.
The margin is the junction between the normal
epithelium and the ulcer.
These two parts represent areas of maximum activity.
3 STAGES
• Stage of ex-tension.
• Stage of transition.
• Stage of repair.
51. A. Sloping edge All healing ulcers
like traumatic
ulcers, venous
Ulcers
61. EDGE
• Induration (hardness) of the edge is
very characteristic of squamous cell
carcinoma.
• It is said to be a host defense
mechanism.
• Tenderness of the edge is
characteristic of infected ulcers and
arterial ulcers.
65. INDURATION
• The edge, base and the surrounding area should be
examined for induration.
Maximum induration Squamous cell carcinoma
Minimal induration Malignant melanoma.
Brawny induration Abscess.
Cyanotic induration Chronic venous congestion
as in varicose ulcer.
67. MOBILITY
• Gentle attempt is made to move the
ulcer to know its fixity to the
underlying tissues.
• Malignant ulcers are usually fixed,
benign ulcers are not.
69. BLEEDING
• Malignant ulcer is friable like a
cauliflower. On gentle palpation, it
bleeds.
• Granulation tissue as in a healing
ulcer also causes bleeding.
71. SURROUNDING AREA
• Thickening and induration is found
in squamous cell carcinoma.
• Tenderness and pitting on pressure
indicates spreading inflammation
surrounding the ulcer.
75. Investigations
1) Complete blood picture: Hb%, TC, DC, ESR,
PS
2) Urine and blood examination to rule out
diabetes
3) Chest X-ray - PA. view to rule out Koch’s
4) Pus for culture/sensitivity
5) Lower limb angiography in cases of arterial
diseases.
6) X-ray of the part to see for Osteomyelitis
7) Doppler study of LL. Vessels.
8) Biopsy: Non-healing/malignant ulcers
79. TREATMENT OF THE ULCERS
• Treatment of Diabetic foot Ulcers
• Treatment of Spreading Ulcers
• Treatment of Healing Ulcers
• Treatment of Chronic Ulcers
• Treatment of The Underlying Disease
85. TREATMENT OF HEALING
Ulcer ULCER
• Regular dressings are done for a few days
• Culture swab is taken to rule out Streptococcus
Haemolyticus ( contraindication for skin
grafting )
• Ulcer is small - Heals by itself ( Epithelialization )
Large - Free Split Skin Graft applied
86. TREATMENT OF CHRONIC
ULCERS
• These do not respond to conventional methods of
treatment.
The following are tried:
• Infrared radiation, short-wave therapy, ultraviolet rays
decrease the size of the ulcer.
• Amnion helps in epithelialization.
• Chorion helps in granulation tissue.
• These ulcers ultimately may require skin
grafting./flaps
96. Wound Infection: Local features
• Foul-smelling drainage
• spontaneously bleeding wound bed
• flimsy friable tissue
• increased levels of wound exudates
• increasing pain
• surrounding -
– cellulitis
– Crepitus
– necrosis,
– Fasciitis
– regional lymphadenopathy
97. Wound Infection: Local features
Osteomyelitis
• Fevers, malaise, chronic fatigue, and limited range
of motion of the affected extremity,
• patients often present with only a nonhealing
wound or a chronic draining sinus tract overlying
a bone or joint.
• Probe to bone test.
• Plain radiographs, CT scans, radionuclide bone
scans, and MRI
• Osteomyelitis is treated with surgical curettage
and appropriate systemic antibiotics.
99. Systemic Factors
• Malnutrition
• Cancer
• Old Age
• Diabetes- impaired neutrophil chemotaxis,
phagocytosis.
• Steroids and immunosuppression suppresses
macrophage migration, fibroblast proliferation,
collagen accumulation, and angiogenesis.
Reversed by Vitamin A 25,000 IU per day.
• Superstitions
102. Wound Management
Local measures- “The golden hour”
• Haemostasis
• Anaesthesia
• Decontamination
• Repair and closure
• Delayed closure-
• Late presentation
• Heavy contamination
• Lot of dead and devitalized tissue.
103. Wound Management
Local measures- “The golden hour”
• Haemostasis
• Anaesthesia
• Decontamination
• Repair and closure
• Delayed closure-
• Late presentation
• Heavy contamination
• Lot of dead and devitalized tissue.
104. Wound Management
• Local measures-
• Surgically debride nonvitalized tissue and
with appropriate irrigation
• Dressing changes require clean but not
necessarily sterile technique.
• Remove foreign bodies
• Pat the wound surface with soft moist
gauze; do not disrupt viable granulation
tissue.
105. Wound Management
Pressure sores
• Mobilise
• Appropriate turning and positioning
• Use of offloading support surface
• Appropriate wound care
• Appropriate management of incontinence
• Appropriate nutritional management
108. Wound Management
Diabetic foot ulcers
• Appropriate wound care
• Liberal debridement
• Maintain euglycemia with insulin.
• Antibiotics only if evidence of infection.
• Reperfusion.
109. Wound Management
Surgical Care
• Skin grafting
• Cadaveric allografting
• Application of bioengineered skin
substitutes
• Use of flap closures
111. Future and Controversies
• Human cell–conditioned media developed
in embryologiclike conditions
• transforming growth factor (TGF)–β3
• Hyperbaric oxygen has also been used to
promote healing.
• Agents such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
and erythropoietin (EPO
• Engineered tissue matrices
• Stem Cells
112. Take home messages
• Early closure of clean wounds.
• Delayed closure of dirty / infected wounds.
• Antibiotics are generally not indicated in
abrassions, contusions.
• For open wounds give three dosage of
antibiotic.
• Further antibiotics only if evidence of
infection.
• Spirit, Betadine,Savlon, Hydrogen peroxide
Sumag should not be applied on wounds.
