Vulvar Pressure Ulcer – An Inadvertent Complication of Thomas Splint: Case Report

Vulvar pressure ulcers are rare and often underdiagnosed, particularly in patients with risk factors like sickle cell disease. This case emphasizes the need for regular inspection of pressure points, patient education, and multidisciplinary collaboration to prevent and manage such complications. Thoughtful application and monitoring of immobilization devices can reduce the risk of pressure injuries in vulnerable populations.

Abstract

Vulvar pressure ulcers are rare and often underdiagnosed, particularly in patients with risk factors like sickle cell disease. This case emphasizes the need for regular inspection of pressure points, patient education, and multidisciplinary collaboration to prevent and manage such complications. Thoughtful application and monitoring of immobilization devices can reduce the risk of pressure injuries in vulnerable populations.
