Stapes being smallest bone of our body lacks periosteum and is connecting link between middle ear and internal ear. Thus any anatomical variation in this area leads to surfeit of disorders which affect hearing tremendously creating conductive hearing loss. Present study included 30 pair of stapes which were procured from the temporal bone of cadavers. All possible anatomical dimensions were recorded by using digital vernier calipers and the datas were analyzed using medcalc software. The dimensions of stapes are helpful in creating prosthesis and also can be used as homograft for future use. Keywords: Stapes, prosthesis, ossicles and footplate.
