We manufactured a new hydroxylapatite prosthesis "carti-lage connecting ossicular chain prosthesis" with a planar-like head portion to contact with a piece of cartilage. As a result, postoperative extrusion rate was 4/124 (3.2 %) which seemed lower than the conventional type, and hearing success rates were 78.8 % in modified type III tympanoplasty, 80.0 % in modified type IV tympanoplasty. Average improvement on air conduction were 13.5 dB in modified type III tympanoplasty, 17.5 dB in modified type IV tympanoplasty. Those good results were explained by that the "Cartilage connecting ossicular chain prosthesis" Was tightly attached with a reconstructed tympanic membrane and ossicular chain prosthesis might be stable in tympanic cavity.
