title: [Ossiculoplasty: evaluation and perspectives].
abstract: Numerous techniques exist for the reconstruction of the ossicular chain. Selection and methods of utilization of the various methods are described. Our preference has been either autograft or allograft ossicular transposition. Analysis of causes for failure and methods to correct them are studied. Difficulties in availability, the risk of transmission of viral diseases, the possibility of long term osseous resorption and practical considerations have led us to use synthetic materials. Hydroxylapatite seems at present to offer the most promising perspectives.
