It often results from or associated with venous insufficiency, for which a number of theories have been implicated. Limb elevation and compression bandaging have thus become cornerstones in the management of most leg ulcers. We report a case of a 50-year-old man with leg ulcer and a previous history of ipsilateral gastrocnemius flap. We propose the hypothesis of muscle pump failure as a cause of the leg ulcer. %0 Journal Article %I Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications %@ 0794-9316
