[Reconstruction of tympanomastoid using autogenous mastoid cortical bone]
Abstract:
The reconstruction of tympanomastoid, such as scutum, lateral wall of attic, posterior wall of external auditory canal, mastoid cortex and auditory ossicular bone, is an important method to restore the function of middle ear and improve the living quality of patients. At present, there are a lot of new materials used to reconstruct the tympanomastoid, the autogenous mastoid cortical bone is still one of selective materials, we will introduce our experiences and review the related research about those reconstructions using this material in this paper.

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
