Leg Oedema Management
Development of a practical guide for diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management of leg oedema.
This document will expand on existing treatments in leg oedema while reflecting clinical reality in different countries. The aim is to develop a practical guide for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment options including surgical solutions, compression therapy and ongoing management.
This document is developed as an initiative of EWMA and the International Lymphoedema Framework (ILF). EWMA and ILF thank Lymphoedema United founder Matt Hazledine for his collaboration on the document.
