Abstract

The human cadaveric styloid process was used as a homograft material for ossicular chain reconstruction in 41 cases of chronic suppurative otitis media over a five-year period. Although technical success was achieved in about 88.23 per cent of the cases, actual patient benefit was around 70.58 per cent; this is comparable to results obtained with most other homologous graft materials. The problem of breakage while remodelling the bone has also increased the risk of transmitting the AIDS virus and consequently undermines the use of this material.
