Abstract:
The repair of incomplete clefts of the earlobe by just freshening the edges and suturing them in apposition may result in an abnormal, pointed earlobe. We present a modification of the technique described by Pardue, preserving the hole for an earring and preventing the pointed earlobe. Two skin suture lines, in opposing directions, maintain the natural curved contour of the earlobe.
