Abstract

Practice in the Temporal Bone laboratory is a fundamental part of Otological training. Performing a stapedectomy on a normal temporal bone is handicapped by the mobility of the footplate. We describe a simple method of producing stapes footplate fixation in a normal temporal bone so that the operative conditions found in otosclerosis are more closely simulated.
