Canthal fixation with a stainless steel screw: a report of ten patients.
During a period of six years (1981-1987) we have used the Nelson stainless steel screw for fixation of the medial canthal tissues to the medial orbital wall in nine patients and in the lateral wall in one. No complications have occurred in any of the patients, and we endorse its use.
