Incompetent saphenous vein in patients with lower leg dermatitis and cramps

Abstract

We recruited lower leg dermatitis patients at our department between 2018 and 2021. The patients were divided into two groups, those with incompetent great saphenous vein and/or small saphenous vein (Group 1; n = 8) and those without (Group 2; n = 22). The prevalence of cramps and/or aching in Group 1 patients was significantly higher than that in Group 2 patients.
