Abstract:
This article reviews the evolution of ossicular reconstruction from the autograft incus through homografts to hydroxylapatite prostheses in use today. In this way, a tried and true design has been combined with a mass-produced biocompatible material to produce a versatile prosthesis that will give excellent and consistent hearing results.
