Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objective: Performing stapedotomy in cases of tympanosclerotic stapes fixation is controversial. The procedure is traditionally considered to carry a high risk of postoperative sensorineural hearing loss. The aim of this study was to report the hearing results in surgically treated cases of stapes fixation. Study Design: A retrospective review of tympanosclerosis of the oval window with stapes fixation. Setting: The study was performed at the Jean Causse Ear Clinic in Clombiers, France. Patients: Sixty-five patients who underwent surgery for tympanosclerotic stapes fixation between January 1992 and October 1999. Intervention: Stapedotomy with vein graft interposition and reconstruction with a Teflon piston, or a total prosthesis in cases of incudal erosion. Main Outcome Measures: Preoperative and postoperative audiometric evaluation using conventional audiometry. Air-bone gap, bone conduction threshold, air conduction threshold, and Glasgow Benefit Plot were measured. Results: Postoperative air-bone gap closure to within 10 dB was achieved in 39% of cases. An air-bone gap less than 20 dB was obtained in 70% of cases. Significant postoperative improvement of air conduction thresholds, more than 20 dB, was found in 46% of cases. The postoperative bone conduction thresholds were unchanged in 92% of cases. No significant sensorineural hearing loss was seen in this series. Conclusion: This series demonstrates that safe and successful stapedotomy is possible if certain rules are respected.
