title: The ear model: an aid for total ear reconstruction.
abstract: An ear model can be useful in portraying the three-dimensional relationships of the components of the external ear. The role of such a model available as an aid during the carving of a cartilaginous framework in total ear reconstruction is discussed, and a simple method of making an ear model is presented.
