Leg ulcer.: The first step would be to find the cause of the ulcer. It would be due to many factors such as diabetes, venous insufficiency. arterial insufficiency or pressure. See a vascular surgeon for a full evaluation so that a diagnosis could be made and a treatment plan instituted. The ulcer should be treated before the hip surgery.
