"I just want to smash the malleus with my mallet!"

The ossicles are three small bones within the middle ear: the malleus, incus, and stapes. Other than helping to conduct sound to the inner ear, their primary function is to annoy orthopedic surgeons because the bones[1] are too small to fix.


Review


Dr. Brock Hammersley (Orthopedic Surgery): Those darn bones look like snails!
