However, cases of restenosis because of hinge closure (spring back phenomenon) are a significant concern for both techniques and led to the use of inlay grafts to maintain expanded canal dimensions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of 'otological compass' on short-term results of inlay cartilaginous 'butterfly' tympanoplasty technique in adult patients.
Despite the component design, proper component alignment, cementation technique, and ligamentous balance remain crucial for implant survival and are highlighted in this article along with a comparison of InLay and OnLay results.
