Abstract

Neutron activation analysis was used to determine the inorganic constituents of stapes and cortical bone. Zinc, sodium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus were detected. The calcium and phosphorus concentrations in stapes and cortical bone from individuals with otosclerosis was compared to that of bone from non-otosclerotic controls. No significant differences were observed.
