Abstract
We conducted a retrospective study of 55 cases to investigate the effectiveness of three different surgical procedures (medial rectus muscle recession and lateral rectus muscle resection in 16 cases, the Hummelsheim procedure in 27 cases, and the Jensen procedure in 12 cases) in the treatment of lateral rectus muscle paralysis. All three procedures were equally effective. Shorter duration of lateral rectus muscle paralysis, greater preoperative lateral version, less contracture of the medial rectus muscle, and a traumatic origin for the sixth cranial nerve damage had a significant effect (P less than .05) on the final results of surgery.
