title: Medial canthal ligament reconstruction.
abstract: A method of medial canthal ligament reconstruction is presented. The method requires an intact medial orbital wall and orbital periosteum. The technique has been useful following radical surgical ablation of a medial canthal area neoplasm. The principle is simple and effective and would seem applicable in the treatment of telecanthus from a variety of causes.
