Polyethylene Torps and Porps in Otologic Surgery

  • Chapter
Biomaterials in Otology

Abstract

The result achieved from the implantation of an artificial prosthesis is dependant upon three factors:

  1. 1.

    Pathology present in the area to be implanted and the surgical skill employed in the implantation.

  2. 2.

    Biomechanical properties of the implant.

  3. 3.

    Biocompatibility of the material implanted.
