A Decubitus Ulcer is a localized injury to the skin or underlying tissue, typically over a bony prominence, resulting from prolonged pressure or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction, distinguishing it from other skin lesions by its etiological association with immobility and sustained mechanical loading.
