Pressure injuries, also termed bedsores, decubitus ulcers, or pressure ulcers, are localized skin and soft tissue injuries that form as a result of prolonged pressure and shear, usually exerted over bony prominences. These ulcers are present 70% of the time at the sacrum, ischial tuberosity, and greater trochanter. However, they can also occur in the occiput, scapula, elbow, heel, lateral malleolus, shoulder, and ear.
