The success of the Mustardé technique is influenced by several variables, including the surgeon's experience, patient age, cartilage elasticity, and the suture material.
“The success of the Mustardé technique is known to be influenced by several variables, including the surgeon’s experience, patient age, cartilage elasticity, and the suture material [7,10,22].”
From Comparative Analysis of Mustardé, Fascioperichondrial Flap, and Combined Otoplasty Techniques: Clinical Outcomes and Recurrence Rates in 365 Patients (2025) · cites this paper as [10]
Messner and Crysdale showed that Mustardé and Furnas sutures achieved good or excellent results in 78% of pediatric cases, despite some relapse in the superior auricle.

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.
