Venous ulcers are common in drug addicts and, although the management of these wounds is the same as in other patients, there are differences in the approach and the outcome of treatment. Those injecting drugs are at risk of serious infections, such as necrotizing fasciitis, wound botulism, and cutaneous anthrax due to the nature of the substances being injected. Herein, we present two cases of venous ulcers in drug addicts in their thirties. Both patients had been suffering from a venous ulcer for several years and the final result differed in the two patients. We concluded that it is necessary to raise awareness of the importance of treatment and lifestyle changes. The multidisciplinary approach in these patients may contribute to the improvement of wound healing.

Objective: To report a case of iatrogenic leg ulcer after subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS). Design: Case report. Setting: Department of Vascular Surgery, Milton Keynes Hospital, a district general hospital. Patient, intervention and results: A 57-year-old woman underwent SEPS for a venous ulcer secondary to an incompetent perforating vein. Post-operatively she developed a new ulcer directly over the site of the divided perforator. The ulcer healed completely with conservative bandaging treatment after 4 months. Conclusion: We describe a complication of SEPS not previously reported. The perforating artery might have been divided inadvertently instead of the perforating vein. It is important to positively identify the perforating vein during SEPS before its division, especially in the presence of mixed arteriovenous disease.
