We discuss a case of circumferential ulceration of the lower leg in a cognitively impaired elderly man with poor tissue integrity. Thorough clinical examination eventually determined the cause as being a circumferentially placed, forgotten elastic band causing ulceration via sustained tension around the limb. Circumferential application of an elastic band to an extremity is an exceedingly rare but serious cause of lower leg ulceration.
我们讨论了一例患有认知障碍且组织完整性较差的老年男性小腿环形溃疡病例。经过全面的临床检查,最终确定病因是一条被遗忘的环形弹性绷带,它通过持续对肢体施加张力导致溃疡。在肢体上环形使用弹性绷带是导致小腿溃疡的一种极其罕见但严重的原因。
