Background: Posttraumatic chain disruption may be caused by blunt head trauma, barotrauma, or a penetrating foreign body. In cases of severe damage to the incus, or its absence, a titanium prosthesis is a good option for reconstructing the ossicular chain.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 24 cases of posttraumatic ossicular chain disruption that had been treated with a titanium partial or total ossicular replacement prosthesis.
