Abstract
Use of an ionomer bone cement is described for repairing the ossicular middle ear system in revision stapes surgery. The cement was used to enlarge an eroded inadequate incus to allow placement of a new stapes prosthesis. Reconstruction of the incus with this new bone cement was readily performed and hearing results after 2 years of follow-up have been promising.
