To assess the aesthetic and functional results of primary treatment of telecanthus in patients with naso-orbito-ethmoidal fractures, the results in 36 patients were evaluated in a retrospective study. Twenty had double-sided telecanthus: 13 required an indirect technique of canthopexy and seven a direct technique. Sixteen had unilateral telecanthus, of whom six were treated by the indirect and 10 by the direct technique. The intercanthal distance (ICD) was measured directly postoperatively and more than 12 months after reconstruction. The late ICD after application of the direct technique was nearly 3 mm smaller (ANOVA, P < or = 0.02, mean 34.3 mm) and yielded 2 mm less relapse (ANOVA, P < or = 0.02) as compared with the indirect technique. Delayed or late-primary treatment showed a significantly higher frequency of epiphora (chi-square test, P < or = 0.05). Early primary treatment of traumatic telecanthus produced the best aesthetic and functional result.
