Answer: Tarsal strip or canthoplasty in younger patients the answer to the question is yes, and a younger person below the age of say 50 argument sake would be prone to this loosening with time.

It is of procedure best used and reconstructive capacity in older patients with functional issues.I perform this procedure every week and I am asked about it by younger patients every week.
