3. We recommend serial venous leg ulcer wound measurement and documentation (Best Practice).
4. Serial VLU wound measurement and documentation are important to determine baseline markers and effect of subsequent treatment measures on healing parameters. Documentation should include number and position of ulcers on the leg. Wound measurements should be made for each VLU, including area, perimeter, and depth, with additional descriptors of wound edge parameters, wound base quality, drainage, and infection.
5. Adjuncts for standardization of ulcer documentation, including wound planimetry, digital photography, and digital planimetry software, are recommended.
