Isolated Traumatic Dislocation of the Malleus into the External Auditory Canal
We report a rare case of isolated malleus dislocation into the external auditory canal with lateralized intact tympanic membrane following a head trauma. The patient was a 63-year-old woman who presented at the outpatient department of our institute with

TOTAL OSSICULAR REPLACEMENT PROSTHESIS OF THE MIDDLE EAR: A BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS [PDF]
The main goal of the present study is to analyze and characterize the behavior of the middle ear, when a total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) is used in the ossicular chain, in order to troubleshoot conductive hearing loss. Using a finite element model (FEM), a dynamic study of the middle ear was made. The displacement values were obtained at

Cortical bone total ossicular replacement prosthesis
Objectives: Evaluate an autologous cortical bone total ossicular replacement prosthesis (B TORP) made of cortical bone for cost effective and sustainable hearing results. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was undertaken in the patients who underwent tympanoplasty with new B-TORP from January 2011 to December 2011.
