1Department of Ophthalmology, Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, Texas 77030, USA.
Introduction And Purpose:
Surgical treatment of vertical deviations secondary to other causes can be difficult and treatment approaches may vary. The purpose of this discussion is to present surgical treatment options for the management of vertical deviations secondary to other causes including dissociated vertical deviation, primary inferior oblique overaction, superior oblique overaction, and nonspecific eccentric gaze hypertropia with diplopia.
Results:
Surgical treatment of vertical deviations secondary to other causes is beneficial to patients. Treatment approaches may vary depending upon patient circumstances and surgeon preference. Side effects and complications from surgery to manage these conditions can occur but are usually of minor significance and not vision threatening.
Conclusions:
Treatment of vertical deviations secondary to other causes is effective and results usually satisfactory.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
