Pressure injuries can involve open wounds or discoloration of skin. They can arise over bony prominences (such as the spine, shoulders, skull, elbow, finger, pelvis, hip, ankle, heel, midfoot or toe) or from an outside surface causing pressure such as a medical device or tube, edge of a table, arm of a chair or toilet seat.

After surgery, the resulting wound needs proper care for healing, minimizing infection risk, and avoiding complications.
