Disease relevance of Ossicular Replacement

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the results when using titanium total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) or partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP) in chronic ear disease [1].

High impact information on Ossicular Replacement

With ossiculoplasty using either partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP, 15%) or total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP, 11%), there were various degree of hearing improvement from 11 to 30 dB [2].
BACKGROUND: Because the performance of titanium dioxide (TiO2) has not yet been assessed in the unique environment of the middle ear, its role as an ossicular replacement prototype in the form of a total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) was tested and compared with aluminum oxide (Al2O3), once considered to be a suitable implant material [3].
In a short-term animal study, Bioglass showed histocompatibility comparable to that of these other implant materials now used in ossicular replacement surgery in humans [4].

Anatomical context of Ossicular Replacement

Titanium as a biomaterial for ossicular replacement: results after implantation in the middle ear of the rabbit [5].

Associations of Ossicular Replacement with chemical compounds

Titanium as an ossicular replacement material: results after 336 days of implantation in the rabbit [6].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ossicular Replacement

OBJECTIVE: To compare the complication rate and hearing results of a new, lightweight, titanium ossicular replacement prosthesis with Plastipore prostheses (Xomed, Jacksonville, FL) [7].
OBJECTIVE: To determine the morphologic and hearing results of the combined application of the palisade cartilage technique and titanium ossicular replacement prostheses in Type III tympanoplasty [8].
