J.R. Martinez and Ricki Lake have been swapping the first place spot all season on Dancing With the Stars. Last night, it was definitely the latter’s turn on top.

While he’s never one to complain (look at all he’s been through in life), J.R. rolled his right ankle in rehearsal and then twisted it again during his routines.

The famous smile that lights up the dance floor was barely there Monday, replaced by grimaces of pain and looks of disappointment. His posture was off.

J.R. and Karina Smirnoff did manage to turn in a sexy Argentine tango to make up for a subpar Paso Doble, but it’ll be up to fans to carry him through.

Can J.R. earn a spot in next week’s DWTS finals after an off week that saw him finish a distant third? Watch his performances and see what you think …

Ear Surgery is a type of cosmetic ear surgery that corrects prominent or misshaped ears, sometimes called ?bat ears.? Ears an obvious feature of the face and head that others notice when they look at us, and ears that stick out can be the strike of many cruel jokes. Children with protruding ears are particularly prone to bullying. Ear Surgery such as to make a hole in the ear drum, is a common surgery. It is typically paired with the insertion of a typanostomy tube, a tiny tube that is placed in the recently created hole in the ear drum, which allows infectious material to drain from the middle ear. The procedure is performed by an?otolaryngologist, also known as an ear, nose and throat physician.?Many parents go for for their child to undergo ear correction surgery at an early age. Most aesthetic plastic surgery operations of this type are performed on young people under fourteen, but it is advisable to wait until the child is at least five years old before considering this option. By this time the ears are their full size and the cartilage is properly formed. Results of such aesthetic plastic surgery are generally very good with negligible scarring, and an enhancement in the shape of the ears is visible within two weeks, although healing may continue for several months afterwards.

The laser method of the Myringotomy ear surgery can be performed in a doctor?s office with an ear numbing medication, but the vast majority of procedures are performed in a hospital with general anesthesia. It may be difficult to locate a doctor performing this procedure outside of a hospital as the laser equipment is enormously expensive. The eardrum, also called the?tympanic membrane, ordinarily heals within two weeks or so of a Myringotomy unless a?tube?is inserted into the opening that was made or unless the opening is made with a laser. Depending on the design of the tube, a Myringotomy and tube procedure can allow external ventilation of the middle ear space for weeks, months or even years. Myringotomy with tube insertion is performed for the relief of otitis medium. Pressure equalization tubes, known as tympanostomy or?Myringotomy tubes, are usually placed at the time of Myringotomy to?stent?the eardrum open.

Otherwise the rapid healing of the eardrum (a few days) would necessitate future myringotomies before the underlying condition is fully treated. Most tubes are made of a synthetic plastic material, such as?silicone?or?Teflon. They typically stay in place about nine months before they are naturally extruded by the rapidly healing eardrum. It is important to?properly prepare children for surgery?so that the experience is not a terrifying one. While different age groups require different information before surgery, it is important that the child should not find out about the surgery upon arrival at the hospital. It is well worth the time to make sure that a child?s fears and concerns are addressed prior to the procedure. In most cases, a Myringotomy is performed on adults because of barotraumas. Barotraumas results from a significant difference in pressure inside the ear behind the eardrum and outside of the ear. Major differences in pressure can occur with altitude changes, such as riding in an elevator in a tall building or flying. Scuba diving can also result in barotraumas.

There is no need for incision care as the surgery is performed directly on the eardrum so no incision in the skin is made. In the first days of revival, drainage from the ear is expected. It may be pus like in appearance, blood tinged or clear fluid which is normal. At this point, the ear should be protected from water, which can get inside the ear through the tube, just as drainage comes out of the tube. Your surgeon may recommend earplugs be used during showers, swimming or any activity that has a risk of water entering the ear.
