can someone with experience in orthopaedics advice from their point of view if surgery wud prove beneficial?
also, is it possible that the surgery may break the soft bones of the ear since they are so soft, or the bones cant hold the artificial bone that wud be inserted?
please advice.

You better be real carefull. You could end up like me and have exteram Vertigo!! I get so dizzy I can’t even sit up. And all the med.s they have me on help, But then when taking them I Have to wear diapers Because the side affects from the drugs is incontinence!! So be real carefull when it come to f-ing around with the inter ear. Ive had Vertigo for over 5 years now! And my ears ring so bad i can’t hear a phone ring. If I was you I would ask the Dr about the chance of getting Vertigo from this surgery!! Anyway good luck!! You have a hard choice to make…
