Effect of unilateral vertical transposition of the horizontal rectus muscles on vertical strabismus.

CONCLUSIONS: Vertical transposition of the horizontal rectus muscles in the same direction allows for correction of vertical strabismus. This procedure may be performed during primarily horizontal strabismus surgery, without operating on an additional extraocular muscle. The transposition distance correlates with the surgical effect but predictability of the effect is limited. PMID: 32551994 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
