Abstract

The displacement of the medial canthus greatly interfere facial harmony and disturbs function of the lacrimal system. Multiple techniques have been reported for repositioning the medial canthal tendon. In this article, we present two cases of medial canthoplasty using Z plasty for repositioning the medial canthus and anchor screws for tendon fixation. The results were evaluated by the standard anthropometric measurement of eyelid aperture: the ratio of the deformity palpebral aperture width site to the normal palpebral aperture width site. The success of the reported cases suggests that the use of anchor srew for medial canthopexy can be considered an easily, safely performed and allowed stable fixation of the medial canthal tendon.
