Summary

Ossicular chain reconstruction uses strut prostheses to repair the incus, a common middle ear bone. Hydroxyapatite prostheses offer biocompatibility and bone bonding, minimizing extrusion risks.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Ossicular chain reconstruction is frequently needed due to incus absence or disease.
  • Maintaining middle ear continuity is crucial for hearing restoration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the use of strut prostheses in ossicular chain reconstruction.
  • To highlight the benefits of hydroxyapatite material in these prostheses.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing strut prostheses to bridge the gap between the stapes capitulum and malleus handle.
  • Employing hydroxyapatite, a biocompatible material, for prosthesis fabrication.

Main Results:

  • Strut prostheses effectively reestablish ossicular continuity.
  • Hydroxyapatite prostheses demonstrate excellent biocompatibility and osseointegration.

Conclusions:

  • Strut prostheses are a reliable method for incus reconstruction.
  • The use of hydroxyapatite in strut prostheses minimizes extrusion and displacement, promoting successful outcomes.
