This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using a strip-shaped cymba conchae orthosis for the nonsurgical correction of complex auricular deformities.
Clinical data were collected from 2020 to 2021 for 6 patients who underwent correction using a strip-shaped cymba conchae orthosis. The indications, corrective effects, and complications associated with use of the orthosis were analyzed.
There were four indications for treatment: cryptotia with helix adhesion; cryptotia with grade I microtia; cryptotia with excessive helix thickness; and auricular deformity beyond the treatment time window (≥6 months). Excellent corrective effects were observed in all 6 patients. Complications occurred in one patient, who recovered after symptomatic treatment.
The use of a strip-shaped cymba conchae orthosis alone or combined with a U-shaped helix orthosis presents a feasible approach for correcting complex auricular deformities or deformities beyond the treatment time window in pediatric patients.
本研究旨在评估使用条形耳甲艇矫形器非手术矫正复杂耳廓畸形的有效性和安全性。
收集2020年至2021年6例使用条形耳甲艇矫形器进行矫正的患者的临床资料。分析了该矫形器的适应证、矫正效果及相关并发症。
有四种治疗适应证:伴有耳轮粘连的隐耳;Ⅰ级小耳畸形伴隐耳;耳轮厚度过大的隐耳;以及超出治疗时间窗(≥6个月)的耳廓畸形。6例患者均观察到极佳的矫正效果。1例患者出现并发症,经对症治疗后康复。
单独使用条形耳甲艇矫形器或联合U形耳轮矫形器为矫正小儿复杂耳廓畸形或超出治疗时间窗的畸形提供了一种可行的方法。
