The Boyd approach allows excellent access to the elbow and is used to treat complex elbow injuries using a single incision approach.
In this study, we retrospectively evaluated 16 patients with complex elbow injuries treated with open reduction and internal fixation using the Boyd approach between 2016 and 2018.
All fractures were well united in anatomical position. Postoperatively, the range of motion was not significantly different between the affected and unaffected elbows. The mean Mayo Elbow Performance Index score was 95 ± 5 (range 90 to 100). All study participants had satisfactory results and recovered to full activity. There was no incidence of posttraumatic arthritis of the elbow joint or synostosis of the radius and ulna.
Thus, according to our study, the Boyd elbow approach is a safe and effective method of treating elbow injuries.
博伊德入路能很好地显露肘关节,用于采用单一切口入路治疗复杂肘关节损伤。
在本研究中,我们回顾性评估了2016年至2018年间采用博伊德入路行切开复位内固定治疗的16例复杂肘关节损伤患者。
所有骨折均在解剖位置良好愈合。术后,患侧和健侧肘关节的活动范围无显著差异。梅奥肘关节功能指数平均评分为95±5(范围90至100)。所有研究参与者均取得满意结果并恢复至完全活动状态。肘关节创伤后关节炎或桡尺骨融合均未发生。
因此,根据我们的研究,博伊德肘关节入路是治疗肘关节损伤的一种安全有效的方法。
