Pressure Injury (PI), not only exerts physical burden on a patient’s body but also adds to his mental and economic stress [1]. Chronically ill, bed ridden and aged patients are always predisposed to development of pressure injury unless nursed with frequent position changes over an air mattress [2]. Every now and then, we come across, young patients who develop PI, either because of insensate and powerless lower limbs or prolonged bed ridden medical conditions. The temptation to close any pressure ulcer primarily should always be resisted [3]. We hereby, present a case report of a 17 years boy, who sustained cervical spine injury after road traffic accident, 10 months back and later developed multiple pressure injuries over bilateral trochanter and left ilium. We discuss the pathognomics of occurrence of pressure injury at unusual sites like ilium and our management for coverage of such defects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
