Introduction: This article aims at describing the four-year outcome of a surgical procedure implanting a patient specific epithesis system in two patients.
Technical Note: After virtual 3D reconstruction of the anatomy and mirroring of the healthy ear, the position of the three Locator attachments were optimized in the software to embed them as accurately as possible in the planned episthesis antihelix. The personalized plate bearing the three Locator implants was then manufactured.
