Functional Outcome of Complex Elbow Fracture Managed With the Boyd Approach.
Curēus 2024 January
INTRODUCTION: The Boyd approach allows excellent access to the elbow and is used to treat complex elbow injuries using a single incision approach.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 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.
RESULTS: 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.
CONCLUSION: Thus, according to our study, the Boyd elbow approach is a safe and effective method of treating elbow injuries.
