The Boyd Approach: A Valuable Alternative to Treating Simple to Complex Elbow Fractures & Dislocations
The Boyd approach is a single-incision posterior approach to the proximal radius and ulna based on a lateral anconeous muscle reflection and release of the lateral collateral ligamentous complex. This approach remains a lesser-utilized technique following early reports of proximal radioulnar synostosis and postoperative elbow instability.

This study presents a single surgeon’s outcomes utilizing the Boyd approach for the treatment of simple to complex elbow injuries.
