A splint for correction of congenital ear deformities
Open accessAbstract
Fourteen non-hypoplastic congenitally deformed ears were treated with a simple splint with satisfactory results in all but one. These deformities can be treated non-surgically in the early neonatal period, effectively, without anaesthetic, and with minimal cost. We confirm other reports that better results are obtained and a shorter duration of splintage is needed if treatment is started early in the neonatal period. Our neonatal paediatric colleagues and midwives should be encouraged to manage these deformities in this way, and the need for surgical correction may be largely avoided in the future.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
