Cochlear Implant Insertion Axis Into the Basal Turn: A Critical Factor in Electrode Array Translocation

Conclusion: A 3D reconstruction model was effective in determining the array position in the cochlea scalae. Our data indicate that the angle of approach to the ST centerline is a critical factor in intracochlear trauma. Additional studies should be conducted to assess the importance of the insertion axis with other array designs.
