Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stapedial ankylosis is a condition where the footplate of the stapes becomes fixed and immobile. This can result in conductive hearing loss. Lordosis and kyphosis are conditions that affect the spine, and arthritis is a general term for joint inflammation. None of these conditions are related to the stapes or hearing loss.
