Hey there!

The common sites for pressure injuries occur are on the parts of the body where external force can be applied easily onto the skin's surface. Like for example, the bony regions like the elbows, ankles, hips etc.

Hope it helps ya!

  • Pressure injuries usually occur when we apply force onto the surface of the skin.
  • Some common sites where pressure injuries occur are on the bony parts of the body (hips, heels, tailbone, elbows, head and ankles).
  • These pressure injuries are really common & it was reported that in the USA, approximately 2.5 million people develop pressure injuries annually.
