A strut harvested from the cartilaginous nasal septum is placed in a pocket that has been dissected between the medial crura and sewn into place with absorbable sutures. For example, the renewed discussion about the clitoris and connected erectile tissue (two stripes of erectile tissue which diverge into the crura inside the labia majora) is reviewed. Under this hypothesis, (1) Meckel's cartilage was solely responsible for the head and neck of the malleus, and the body and short process of the incus; (2) Reichert's cartilage was responsible for the handle of the malleus, the long process of the incus, the crura, and the lateral stapedial footplate; and (3) the otic capsule was responsible for the medial stapedial footplate. |
