pubmed:abstractText |
To describe a new operation to treat unilateral chronic sixth nerve paresis based on Sherrington's innervational law. A recession of the medial rectus (MR) in the good eye, yoke to the paretic lateral rectus (LR), will have the reciprocal innervational effect of relaxing the contracture of the contralateral MR and by doing so will enhance the effect of a weakening procedure performed on this muscle. The goal of this study was to eliminate diplopia in primary position by improving the function of the paretic LR and reducing the contracture of its antagonist MR.
