[Efficacy of Vertical Muscle Transpositions with and without Simultaneous Rectus Muscle Recession for Unilateral Sixth Nerve Palsy].

Conclusions For patients with unilateral sixth nerve palsy, simultaneous medial rectus recession increases the effect of modified vertical rectus muscle surgery according to the Hummelsheim principle. The duration of the palsy is a relevant parameter for the selection of a sole or combined intervention with medial rectus recession. PMID: 29156469 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
