The author offers a prosthesis with variable internal configuration made of human fetus flat bone. The prosthesis is intended for ossicle tympanoplasty in chronic otitis media when total and subtotal destruction of the auditory ossicle takes place and in partial defect of the lateral attic wall. The design warrants adjustment to different area of the tympanic ring region. Morphological and functional outcomes of the reconstruction are satisfactory.
