Objective: To investigate the clinical value of osseointegration for repairing auricular defects and deformity.
Methods: Twenty cases (21 ears) including congenital and non-congenital auricular defects and deformity, were treated with osseointegrated prostheses according to the manual of Branemark implanting system. The first-stage operation was for osseointegration of implants, and the second-stage was for anchoring the prostheses. All cases were followed up for six months to three years.
Results: One-time success rate is 100%. Satisfactory rate of appearance recovery is 90.47%. The infection rate between osseointegrated implants and surrounding tissue is 14.28%. The stability rate of prostheses is 100%.
Conclusions: It has a good result to apply osseointegrated prostheses for repairing auricular defects and deformity.
