Study was made of 28 ossicles from 22 ears with chronic otitis, 12 autogenous transposed ossicles removed after varying periods of time, normal and 4 transplanted pieces of bone, and normal and 2 transplanted pieces of cartilage. The transposed ossicles were found to be dead, apart from certain special instances, showing pathology similar to non-transposed ossicles. Transplanted bone was also dead. Cartilage was vital. These autogenous transplants showed no evidence of rejection and less chronic inflammation than would be anticipated. It is suggested that autogenous ossicular or bone transplants in man act as inert but not rejected implants, while cartilage may remain viable.
对22只患有慢性中耳炎耳朵的28块听小骨、12块在不同时间段后取出的自体移位听小骨、正常的4块移植骨以及正常的2块移植软骨进行了研究。除了某些特殊情况外，移位的听小骨被发现已经坏死，其病理表现与未移位的听小骨相似。移植骨也已坏死。软骨是活的。这些自体移植没有显示出排斥的迹象，并且慢性炎症比预期的要少。有人提出，人体中的自体听小骨或骨移植作为惰性但未被排斥的植入物起作用，而软骨可能保持存活。
