Abstract:It is well known that reconstruction for discontinuity of the ossicular chain , without inflammatory disease, has a good prognosis.Eleven cases of congenital ossicular chain malformation without ossicular fixation and 6 cases of ossicular chain injury due to the head trauma or an earpick, were treated surgically . The method of reconstruction and the prognoses, according to short-term and long-term follow up , were studied in these 17 cases.The following results were obtained:1) In almost all cases, the pure t… Show more
“…Tos 9 found that post-operative air conduction of less than 30 dB could be achieved in 81 per cent (13/16). Ogasawara et al 10 reported a mean ABG improvement of 22.7 dB. Hilary et al 2 found an average post-operative ABG of 17.5 dB.…”

“…6 Incudo-stapedial joint separation was also the most common lesion in a review of paediatric 7 We too found that dislocation of the incus was the most common finding. Ogasawara et al 10 reported a mean ABG improvement of 22.7 dB. 8 Most studies of ossiculoplasty following temporal bone fracture have found that the ABG could be closed to within 10 dB, or at least significantly improved.…”
