Detailed Analysis of the Space between the Semicircular Canals for the Purpose of Direct Bone Conduction Stimulation of the Inner Ear

Conclusions: The bone between the crura of the superior SC is the best placement to screw the BC implant directly to the otic capsule. The implant direction should be parallel to the plane of the lateral SC. This location, the direction, and the limitation of the screw length of the BC implant to a maximum of 7 mm present the lowest potential risk of damage to the inner ear.Audiol Neurotol
