A novel technique for fabricating an ear prosthesis in a patient with congenital ear deformity.

abstract：:In Europe, bespoke orthopaedic shoes are usually sent for a trial fitting in order to check the fit and indicate any modifications required before final finishing. The use of shell shoes at the fit assessment stage, rather than the traditional alternative of partially or fully finished shoes, can offer service advanta...
