Pressure ulceration – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/455330172
Pressure ulcers result from localised injury and ischaemic necrosis of skin and underlying tissues due to prolonged pressure, or pressure in combination with shear; bony prominences of the body are the most frequently affected sites; immobility and debility are major contributing factors.
