  1. THE MEDIAL RECTUS PULLEY SUTURE : PRELIMINARY EXPERIENCE LIONEL KOWAL ELINA LANDA RVEEH MELBOURNE

  2. ‘FADEN SUTURE’ • Many synonyms • Long history: Germany 50 yrs ago • Frequently used in European and Latin strabismus • Lower acceptance in Anglo- American strabismus

  3. MECHANISM OF FADEN • Previous: change tangent of action of muscle • Demer: major mechanism - create restriction of movement through the pulley • New intra-operative end point: restriction SEMINAL PAPER R A. Clark, J L. Demer Posterior fixation sutures: a revised mechanical explanation for the fadenoperation …. Am J Ophth 1999

  4. COMMON USE : TO COMPENSATE FOR INCOMITANCE • MR: Desired Effect: to have no effect on primary position, and to only effect ADduction. Typically used to augment effect of MR recess esp for convergence Xs. • SR: to augment effect of SR recess in DVD • IR: ..after contralateral blowout

  5. Normal Adduction MR insertion A PULLEY If we want to impair Adduction without affecting primary position… Medial orbital wall B A, B : ant & post extent of pulley sleeve

  6. Scleral suture after Demer P Primary gaze 18 degrees ADd P = scleral suture MR insertion A A PULLEY P 18º P B Medial orbital wall Adduction restricted by P B MR MR A, B : ant & post extent of pulley sleeve

  7. SCLERAL FADEN • Many different techniques - all seem to work similarly RARE COMPLICATIONS • Perforation • Scarring ant to suture

  8. THE NEW FADEN: PULLEY SUTURE • Technically difficult - the surgical anatomy of the pulley is NOT well definedeven though radiological / histological anatomy is From Clark & Demer

  9. THE NEW FADEN: PULLEY SUTURE • Create restriction of movement through pulley by suturing muscle to the pulley • Theoretically safer - no scleral suture • Technically difficult • [so far] not titratable *: Will this one have a ‘small’ or ‘large’ effect? * similar with scleral Faden • No long term results

  10. Normal Adduction MR insertion A PULLEY If we want to impair Adduction without affecting primary position… Medial orbital wall B A, B : ant & post extent of pulley sleeve

  11. Diagrams of pulley suture P Primary gaze 18 degrees ADd P = pulley suture MR insertion A A PULLEY P P B Medial orbital wall LR B MR MR A, B : ant & post extent of pulley sleeve

  12. 9 pts : standard BMR + scleral faden: 2 – only scleral faden 7 – BMRc + scleral faden Postoperatively: 6/9 – imroved stereoacuity 8/9 – no longer needed bifocals  D/N disparity av of 12∆ 13 pts : BMR  pulley sutures: 3 – only pulley suture 10 – BMR +pulley suture Postoperatively: 8/13 – improved stereoacuity 12/13 – no longer needed bifocals  D/N disparity av of 14∆ Medial rectus pulley posterior fixation is as effective as scleral posterior fixation for acquired ET with high AC/A R A. Clark, J L. Demer Am J Ophthalmol 2004

  13. Medial rectus pulley posterior fixation: a novel technique to augment recessionR A. Clark, R Ariyasu, J L. Demer JAAPOS 2004 • 16 pts : standard Rs and/or Rc operations with MR pulley fixation: - 9 pts – recurrent ET with conv Xs 5 – BMR re-Rc + BMR pulley suture 4 – MR re-Rc + pulley suture +ipsi LR Rs Postoperatively, D/N disparity decreased av of 11∆. All pts : Dist ET ≤ 10 ∆. No pt overcorrected.
