Description
Camille Karren's team studied Unna boot therapy for venous ulcers below the ankle, in a 2026 retrospective study. Inframalleolar ulcers in venous disease are awkward to treat, and healing factors plus recurrence were poorly charted. The team reviewed 71 office patients treated between May 2012 and May 2023, covering 83 limbs.
All ulcers received weekly Unna boots, with a median treatment span of 5 weeks, and more than 90 percent healing was reached in 51.8 percent of cases. Purely venous ulcers healed better than mixed arterial-venous ones, while heel location did not worsen odds. The findings support Unna boots as a workable mainstay for these low, hard-to-heal wounds.
