PURPOSE: To compare the effectiveness of superior rectus transposition and medial rectus recession (SRT/MRc) versus inferior and superior rectus transposition (VRT) for acquired @entity2896 . DESIGN: Consecutive, interventional case series METHODS: The medical records of a consecutive series of @entity1 with acquired @entity2896 who underwent VRT or SRT/MRc by a single surgeon were reviewed. The pre- and postoperative findings were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Eight @entity1 (mean age, 46.8 years) underwent SRT/MRc and 8 @entity1 underwent VRT (mean age, 51.1 years). Lateral fixation was performed on all but 4 @entity1 in VRT group. @entity5971 in primary position and abduction deficit were similar in both groups (SRT/MRc, 41.9 @entity1726 , -4.6; VRT, 55.6 @entity1726 , -4.5; p=0.195, 1.0). The SRT/MRc group underwent a mean MR recession of 6 mm (range, 5-7). Four @entity1 in the VRT later underwent MR recession (mean 5.3 mm, range 5-6). In addition, 5 @entity1 in the VRT group had one or more botulinum toxin injections in the medial rectus muscle. No additional procedures were performed in the SRT/MR group. Fewer additional procedures were performed with SRT/MR (SRT/MR, 0; VRT, 1.8  1.2; p<0.010). At last follow-up, @entity5971 (SRT/MRc, 7.1 @entity1726 ; VRT, 10.3 @entity1726 ; p=0.442) was similar in both groups, but abduction was better in the SRT/MRc group (SRT/MR, -3.0  0.7; VRT, -3.8  0.4; p=0.038). There were no new persistent vertical deviations or torsional @entity892 . CONCLUSIONS: Final outcomes were similar with SRT/MRc vs. VRT. However, fewer additional surgical procedures were needed with SRT/MR.
