Two patients sustained severe injuries of the foot and ankle, which were managed with Boyd's amputation. A large-pin dynamic external fixator was used to obtain fusion between the calcaneus and distal tibia. Boyd's amputation preserves limb length and prevents posterior migration of the heel pad (both are disadvantages of Syme's amputation). Use of a dynamic external fixator may result in reliable and rapid consolidation of the fusion (thus overcoming the disadvantage associated with Boyd's amputation).
两名患者足部和踝关节严重受伤，采用博伊德截肢术进行治疗。使用大型针式动力外固定器实现跟骨与胫骨远端融合。博伊德截肢术可保留肢体长度并防止足跟垫后移（这两点都是赛姆截肢术的缺点）。使用动力外固定器可能会使融合可靠且快速巩固（从而克服与博伊德截肢术相关的缺点）。
