The decubitus ulcer, whether termed a pressure ulcer or a bed sore, is a major problem for modern medicine. This work provides background information on the decubitus ulcer, as well as the clinical and therapeutic aspects. With patients surviving trauma, neurologic diseases, and the geriatric state for longer periods, dermatologists are know being asked to manage these cutaneous defects. Unrealistic goals about the prevention and wound healing have compounded the problem. Patient awareness, government intervention, and legal entanglements make and understanding of this dermatologic entity mandatory.
