Abstract

See full text

Methods for producing a custom-made stapes prosthesis for a patient and stapes prostheses so produced. The methods may include obtaining a three-dimensional image of a natural stapes bone of the patient; and forming a stapes prosthesis that closely approximates a three-dimensional shape of the natural stapes bone via an additive manufacturing technique based on the three-dimensional image. The stapes prosthesis comprises a suitable material that is not osteogenic and is not cytotoxic. The stapes prosthesis may include a plurality of pores having an average size of from about 5 to about 100 micrometers and may exhibit a frequency of sound transmission in a range of from about 2 to about 30 kilohertz.
