Abstract
- Traumatic ossicular dislocation and fracture occur commonly after head injury. Dislocation of the incudo-stapedial and incudomalleolar joints are more common than isolated fractures of the ossicles. Fractures of the stapes suprastructure are relatively rare. We report two cases of isolated fracture of stapes suprastructure after head injury with a review of literatures, which resulted in excellent outcome after exploratory tympanotomy with ossicular reconstructions were carried out.
