The absent lateral canthal tendon: reconstruction using a Y graft of palmaris longus tendon.

Absence of the lateral canthal tendon, whether congenital or acquired, imposes cosmetic and functional deformities that are surgically correctable. We propose a means of reconstructing the lateral canthal tendon using a Y graft of palmaris longus tendon. The benefits of this method are discussed. We believe it offers an alternative approach for supporting the lateral canthus and lower eyelid, and is especially useful when reestablishment of the lateral canthal tendon is necessary because of local tissue destruction or congenital absence. Three patients with congenital absence of the lateral canthal tendon are presented.

The long-term effects of hard alloplastic implants when put on bone.

The resorption of bone beneath 4 alloplastic materials has been studied for periods up to 18 months in rabbit skulls. When the effects of pressure were negated, there was no significant difference in bone resorption attributable to placement above or below the periosteum. Dacron backing or polyurethane backing were associated with more inflammation and greater bone reaction than were plain silicone or stainless steel. The changes noted at 18 months were essentially the same as those noted at 6 months.
