The International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds (IJLEW)

The International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds is a scholarly, peer-reviewed medical journal published quarterly by SAGE Publications that provides an international forum for the dissemination of high-quality research on wounds specific to the lower limbs. Since its launch in 2002, the journal has focused on advancing clinical practice and research by publishing original scientific articles, comprehensive reviews, case reports, and clinical commentaries in the field of wound care and wound healing science. Topics span evidence-based diagnostic approaches, surgical and medical management strategies, innovative therapies, assessment and monitoring tools, and the socioeconomic and functional implications of chronic and acute wounds. Particular emphasis is placed on conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, burns, and traumatic injuries, and the journal encourages interdisciplinary contributions from vascular and orthopedic surgeons, diabetologists, dermatologists, podiatrists, nurses, and researchers. With rigorous peer review, the journal supports the translation of research into practice, enabling healthcare professionals to improve patient outcomes, enhance wound healing protocols, and integrate emerging technologies such as bioengineered skin and advanced pressure-relieving therapies. Its readership includes clinicians, academics, and specialists aiming to stay current with advancements in lower extremity wound care.
