Among 1,020 stapes mobilizations, 715 were attempted by the indirect approach to the capitulum and 305 by the direct approach to the footplate. In the 715 patients of the indirect-approach group, 11 of 100 resulted in air-bone gap closure or maximum hearing improvement permitted by the level of auditory nerve function. Only 2 of 100 achieved normal hearing. In the 305 patients of the directapproach group, 24 of 100 produced maximum hearing improvement and 8 of 100 resulted in normal hearing. In the 170 patients who underwent vein plug stapedioplasty, 90 of 100 achieved maximum hearing improvement and 50 of 100 produced normal hearing.
