ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Purpose: To introduce a new modified technique. Materials & Method: The affected superior oblique muscle tendon complex is found by conventional technique. The tendon is freed from the capsula. A 5/0 non-absorbable suture is made and tied to the tendon. With a special binding technique, the suture, is stretched out 5-8 mm and is passed through the tendon approximately 1 mm beyond the first pass and the tendon is cut between the two passes. The tendon then moves freely in the capsule. Findings: Surgery was applied to 12 eyes of 11 patients. The patients were 3-17 years (med. 6.6 years). The results were successful except for 3 patients. After the second operation, the first two cases were partially corrected and the third case was fully corrected. Result & Conclusion: This technique, without the need for any special equipment besides the operation microscope, is found to be an easy and effective method.
