Abstract

Though it is not very frequent, hearing loss can be experienced after head traumas. Surgical intervention is occasionally required in persistant conductive hearing loss, and incudostapedial joint injury often occurs during these interventions. In incudostapedial joint repair, ossicular prothesis, shaped bone and cartilage autogrefts are usually used. However; these methods have various disadvantages. In this case we report a case of incudostapedial joint repair with hydroxy apatite bone cement which is easily applicable, cheap and has favored audiological results in a child who experienced conductive hearing loss after temporal trauma. © 2010 Düzce Medical Journal.
