Fascia lata suspension of malpositioned ears.
A new technique for the correction of malpositioned ears in congenital or acquired disorders is described. The use of a fascia lata strip makes a rigid fixation of the ear to the pericranium possible without total fixation of the ear in all directions. The configuration of the auricle is not altered, and the scars are inconspicuous.
