Triple fluorochrome labeling of cochlear bone growth.
A new technique is described which measures the extent and time course of intracochlear bone formation after cochlear implantation in an experimental animal model. A series of fluorescent histochemical markers is used to delineate the amount of intracochlear bone deposition during specified time periods.
