title: Method of Converse for correction of prominent ears: comparison of results.
abstract: We compared the objective and subjective evaluations of the results after correction of the earposition by the method of Converse with the results by the method of Reichert and Mustarde. The mean values obtained by the method of Converse correspond to the mean normal values. The patients are very satisfied with their results. A comparison of the results of these three methods do not show any aggravating differences.
