Abstract
A simply prepared and implanted ossiculoplasty prosthesis is described for use when the malleus is suited to assembly procedures. The one versatile hydroxylapatite and Teflon model is suitable for both the malleus-stapes and malleus-footplate role. Clinical trials of 80 prostheses in place for 5 to 18 months have confirmed excellent surgical handling properties combined with optimal audiological results.
