| Summary: | Though it is not very frequent, hearing loss can be experienced after head traumas. Surgicalintervention is occasionally required in persistant conductive hearing loss, and incudostapedialjoint injury often occurs during these interventions. In incudostapedial joint repair, ossicularprothesis, shaped bone and cartilage autogrefts are usually used. However; these methods havevarious disadvantages. In this case we report a case of incudostapedial joint repair with hydroxyapatite bone cement which is easily applicable, cheap and has favored audiological results in achild who experienced conductive hearing loss after temporal trauma. |
