[An auricular prosthesis attached by intra-mastoid implants. Apropos of 11 cases].
The use of osseointegrated implants to provide support for auricle prosthesis as been carried out by Tjellstrom. This method has provided the maxillofacial surgeon with another approach to the treatment of defect of the auricle. The principles and concepts of extra-oral osseointegrated implants are the same as those of the intra-oral application developed by Branemark 26 years ago. This simple and reliable method allow the attachment to splint bar fixated to three or two mastoid osseointegrated implants. This method represent an interesting possibility for the management of auricle defects. We report on our experience of 11 cases.
