Abstract: Etiology of chronic lower limb ulcer is diversified. Untreated or not correctly treated wounds lead mostly to an unnecessarily high number of amputations. This paper is an audit of care. Our aim was to summarize the efficient treatment of lower extremity wounds in patients with diabetes at a Hungarian hospital when we use all available facilities, experience, information and knowledge. For many cardiology pathologies, it is important that the patient does not have an infection or wound. Therefore, it is important to cure chronic leg ulcers or amputate the lower limb as soon as possible. Peripheral arterial disease and diabetes are the major causes of lower limb amputations worldwide. Hungary has the highest amputation rate among European countries according to a recent survey therefore it is of great importance to diagnose the primary disease and to form an individual, complex therapy in time. Training of the population and general practitioners could help patients visit specialists in time. Training of patients/relatives is necessary to continue the proper wound management at home.
