Abstract Pediatric foot and ankle operative procedures are the most conclusive approach of treatment in pediatric orthopedics in order to repair deformities and boost lower extremities function; however there is always a risk for ubiquity of complications as incision complication, venous thromboembolism (VTE), surgical site infection (SSI), non/ mal-union. Boosting blood circulation by lower extremity exercise has been reflected as one of the most effective non-pharmacological management amongst children succeeding orthopedic surgery on the lower limb specially Buerger-Allen exercises that is considered as an effective, easy to learn with low risk, which is capable of increasing vascularization to the lower extremities to improve peripheral circulation thereby increasing tissue perfusion thus improving wound healing.The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Buerger Allen exercise on local circulation and wound healing of children‘s lower extremities post orthopedic surgeries. |
