Conclusions: Reconstruction of the ossicular chain differentially affects the motion of the tympanic membrane (TM) and the stapes.
Objectives: To determine the effect of different ossicular replacement procedures on the sound-induced motion of the TM and stapes.
Methods: A combination of digital stroboscopic holography and laser Doppler vibrometry was used to determine the sound-induced motion of the TM and stapes in cadaveric temporal bones in which the ossicular chain was reconstructed using 12 varied standard techniques. The variations included the use of total or partial ossicular prosthesis, size of cartilage interposed between the TM and the prosthesis, and the length or fit of the prosthesis between the TM and stapes. The measurements were carried out in repeated measures format, so that each manipulation was performed in each temporal bone.
Results: The volume displacement of the TM was in general reduced by reconstruction, with the largest reductions occurring with high-frequency stimulation in the reconstructions with a 'large' cartilage oval interposed between the TM and the prosthesis. Larger stapes motions in response to low-frequency sound were observed with either 'loose' or 'best' fit TORP with a 'small' cartilage plate between the TM and the prosthesis.

Audiometric results of tympanoplasty with stapedectomy and synthetic total ossicular replacement prosthesis: A STROBE analysis.

Aim: To evaluate the audiometric results of tympanoplasty with stapedectomy and insertion of a synthetic total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP).
Material And Methods: Retrospective observational study conducted on a cohort of 15 patients (16 ears) aged 10 to 58 years (mean: 36 years) with chronic otitis media (COM) and tympanosclerosis (n=9), stapediovestibular ankylosis (n=3), minor aplasia (n=3) or post-traumatic ossicular dislocation (n=1). Treatment consisted in tympanoplasty with stapedectomy and TORP placement by the same operator, between December 1, 2012 and January 30, 2023, in a French university hospital department, with follow-up ranging from 2 to 92 months (mean: 24 months).
Investigation of the coupling quality of partial prostheses at the stapes head.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the connection quality between different types of prostheses and the stapes head affects the success of partial ossicular chain reconstructions in conductive hearing loss cases.
- It uses a standardized procedure to compare the coupling quality of various prostheses, including clip and bell types, using 12 temporal bones in a controlled model.
- Results indicate that all prosthesis types provide effective sound transmission with minimal vibrational loss and distortion, suggesting that while the coupling method may impact practical aspects, it does not significantly affect sound performance.

Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 123 patients with atticotomy, exploring the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing atticotomy and the efficacy of hearing reconstruction methods. 123 patients with atticotomy were divided into three groups according to the ossicular chain treatment method: preservation of the ossicular chain group（37 cases）, cartilage elevation of stapes group（49 cases）, and PORP group（37 cases）. The clinical characteristics of patients with atticotomy, preoperative and postoperative hearing levels of the three groups of patients, and postoperative complications were analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- - Chronic ear diseases often lead to ossicular defects, requiring the use of ossicular reconstruction prostheses like TORP (total ossicular replacement prosthesis) and PORP (partial ossicular replacement prosthesis) to restore hearing continuity.
- - Research shows that using a malleus to footplate reconstruction yields better mechanical outcomes than malleus to stapes superstructure, but long-term effectiveness of TORP versus PORP remains unclear.
- - A study involving 60 patients with Austin type A defects found significant post-operative improvements in hearing for both TORP and PORP groups, with 90% of patients showing mild hearing loss after surgery compared to their pre-operative condition.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates treatment approaches for ossicular chain trauma, focusing on a new classification system for traumatic dislocations during surgery.
- The researchers analyzed 15 patients, categorizing their injuries into Type I (without stapediovestibular dislocation) and Type II (with stapediovestibular dislocation), with specific findings on the types of dislocations and their causes.
- Postoperative outcomes showed significant hearing improvement in most patients, with different surgical techniques used, while all experienced vertigo and tinnitus after trauma, highlighting the need for tailored treatments based on trauma type.
