Tympanoplasty With Calcium Phosphate
Abstract: \s=b\In 35 patients, with an average follow-up period of 2\m=1/2\ years, the middle ear was reconstructed with prostheses of hydroxyapatite, which is the main substance of living bone tissue. In case of a missing incus, an interposition prosthesis of dense hydroxyapatite was used. Defects in the bony posterior canal wall were reconstructed with a canal wall prosthesis of porous hydroxyapatite and cavities with a barefoot plate were reconstructed with a total alloplastic middle-ear implant, consisting of a cana…
