Knee pressure sores are bed sores on the knee that develop due pressure on the knee itself while sitting up in a chair or wheelchair, lying in bed. For example, when a nursing home patient lies in the same position for hours or one knee on top of the other, knee pressure sores may form due to the pressure and reduced blood supply to the knee area.  In addition, When a patient’s knees touch, they are at a higher risk as well to develop these ulcers.
