ABSTRACT
To study the morphology and anthropometry of human ear ossicles from cadaveric temporal bone and to study the variations of the human ossicles from ossiculoplasty point of view. 38 sets of ear ossicles were collected, each containing malleus, incus and stapes, from temporal bone dissection done in Vasantrao Pawar medical college, Nashik. They were studied under microscope & anthropometrical, morphological evaluation done. Malleus showed variations in handle where 61% were straight and 39% curved. Weight of malleus ranged from 0.03-0.06 gm. The length ranged from 5.5 to 8.2 mm. Incus showed morphological variation in lenticular process which was present in 73% incii. Weight of incus ranged from 0.04 to 0.09 gm, average length of long process 3.5 mm, width of body 4 mm. In stapes variations was seen with head of stapes which was absent in 21% bones. With increasing awareness about postop hearing status, this study will add up in knowledge of morphological and anthropometric variations that exists in Indian population, help otologists to understand middle ear dynamics better which will improve results of ossiculoplasty.
