PURPOSE: To investigate the surgical results for consecutive @entity5770 with or without insertion abnormalities on the basis of the position of the lateral rectus muscle at surgery. METHODS: @entity1 with consecutive @entity5770 who had undergone medial rectus recession as a primary procedure or advancement of previously recessed medial rectus muscles from 2002 to 2012 were included in the study. The characteristics, postoperative courses, and final results were compared among 3 @entity1 groups. The @entity1 ' characteristics including sex, @entity2516 , and age at the initial surgery were compared. The main outcome measures were the angles of deviation in the primary position and the average divergent drift per month after the @entity5770 surgery. RESULTS: Twenty-four eyes of 23 @entity1 were investigated. The @entity1 were divided into 3 groups according to insertion status: with normal muscle insertion (4 @entity1 , 4 @entity1 ), slipped muscles (9 @entity1 ), and stretched scars (2 @entity1 , 4 @entity1 ). The preoperative angles of deviation at near differed significantly between the slipped muscle group and the normal muscle insertion group (P = 0.02). Only @entity1 with normal insertions had significantly greater @entity3467 in the nondominant eye (0.95 D) than in the dominant eye (0.53 D). The postoperative divergent shift per month was similar among the groups (0.3, 0.1, and 0.2 prism diopters per month in the slipped muscle, stretched scar, and normal muscle insertion groups, respectively; P = 0.70). CONCLUSIONS: Hyperopic @entity9340 is an important factor in the natural course of outward drift. The postoperative course of advancement of the medial rectus muscle was equally stable in all 3 @entity1 groups.
