VENOUS LEG ULCERS AND ARTHROPATHY [PDF]
Rheumatology, 1990 Reduced ankle mobility impairs the venous muscle pump and this leads to an increase in mean venous pressure in the lower leg.

The damage initiated by the oxidative burst of the leucocyte leads to endothelial dysfunction, interstitial oedema, microthrombi and long-term
