Incus replacement prosthesis

Comparison of Hydroxyapatite Prosthesis and Incus Interposition in Incus Defects.

Objective Chronic otitis media most commonly causes an ossicular chain defect in incus. Different materials can be used for repair of this defect. In this study, the hydroxyapatite prosthesis, used for repair of the incus defect, was compared with the incus interposition. Methods Between 2010 and 2016, 27 female and 16 male patients who underwent ossiculoplasty due to an incus defect were stu...

Comparison of Titanium vs. Polycel Total Ossicular Replacement Prosthesis

Introduction: Even though modern technology progresses so rapidly, annals of otology are replete with so many challenging article, which often compare various types of prosthesis. Since there has not been a prospective randomized clinical trial study which compares the hearing result of total ossicular replacement prosthesis made of Titanium with omega connector and Polycel in the literature, w...

Trapeziometacarpal joint replacement with the Arpe prosthesis.

The purpose of the study was to assess the subjective outcome and five-year survival of non-cemented total joint replacement of the trapeziometacarpal joint with the Arpe prothesis. Forty-nine hands were operated on. Outcome scores were obtained with a mean follow-up of 6 years (range: 3-11 years) for 35 prostheses. Mean disability of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) score was 8, mean visual a...
