| | Otosclerosis |
 | | Today, most otosclerosis surgery involves removing part (and sometimes all) of the stapes and replacing it with a prosthesis. | | | In a surgical procedure called stapedectomy (or more correctly stapedotomy), the top portion of the stapes bone is removed by breaking it or vaporizing it with a LASER. | | | Surgical treatment for otosclerosis has been around since before 1900 with the modern era of otosclerosis surgery beginning in 1952. |

| | The cause of a recurrent conductive hearing loss after previously successful stapes surgery may be related to dislodgement of the prosthesis, erosion of the incus bone where the prosthesis is attached, or regrowth of otosclerotic bone near the footplate where the stapes prosthesis is in contact with the inner ear fluids. | | | Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure in which the innermost ear bone known as the stapes is removed and replaced with a prosthesis. | | | In the early stages the condition is localized to the bone surrounding the stapes. |

| | otosclerosis |
| | Surgery on the base of the stapes is now performed with a laser, that can most safely open the base of the stapes that minimzes any trauma to the delicate inner ear structures beneath. | | | Stapedotomy or stapedectomy surgery involves removing a part or all of the base of the stapes bone and replacing it with a microprosthesis. | | | Abnormal bone deposition by otosclerosis near the stapes bone keeps it from vibrating and therefore a hearing loss occurs. |

| | Otosclerosis |
| | This immobilization prevents the stapes from vibrating as it normally does while processing sound. | | | When sound is prevented from being conducted to the inner ear, a person experiences a conductive hearing loss. | | | Otosclerosis is usually treated by a surgical procedure called a stapedectomy, which replaces the stapes with an artificial prosthesis and usually restores normal hearing. |

| | Assuming that the system behaves as a rigid body this data was used to generate an animation of the stapes motion. | | | This suggests that these vibrations play a functional role in hearing. | | | Under this concept the motions of malleus and stapes are one-dimensional. |

| | This growth prevents the stapes (stirrup bone) from vibrating in response to sound waves, thus leading to progressive (worsening over time) hearing loss. | | | To reduce the risk of complications after surgery: | | | This will not cure or prevent the progression of the disease, but may help alleviate the symptoms of hearing loss. |

| | The stapes is the smallest bone in the body. It consists of a capitulum (head) which articulates with the incus, a neck, two crura (anterior and posterior) and a footplate. The head neck and crura form the stapedial arch. | | | Pictures and Anatomy of the Stapes * Otolaryngology Houston | | | This page was last updated: April 28, 2005 |

| | Paragraph Coherence, Stapes |
| | It is reasonable to assume that the distinction is recognized by the sematic component of the grammar's deep structure. | | | In sentence three, "bone" is used in reference to the growth which encapsulates the stapes and keeps it from functioning, while in sentence four, the referrent is to the hammer, one of the articulated bones of the middle-ear. | | | Although the word "bone" does in fact appear in both sentence three and sentence four and would appear to provide such a link, the referrent in each case is different. |
