title: [Carhart's effect; a study of postoperative outcome of 47 surgically treated cases of otosclerosis].
abstract: The Carhart Effect can explain a bone conduction improvement after stape surgery in otosclerosis, because of the mechanical factors in transmission of sound vibrations. The authors have studied 47 cases of total stapedectomy for otosclerosis to point out this bone conduction improvement. A correlation between the bone conduction improvement and others parameters has been searched: a statistic correlation between pre-operative bone curve and the 1000 Hz bone conduction improvement has been found.
