Innervational Plasticity of the Oculomotor System

Role of part muscle vertical rectus transposition following periosteal fixation of the lateral rectus in exotropic Duane′s retraction syndrome

“…Relearning of muscle function does not happen after transposition surgery as 3 rd nerve nucleus is in the midbrain and 6 th nerve nucleus in the pons, postulated innervational plasticity cannot occur. [ 2 ] Following VRT in LR palsy, vertical rectus muscles do not recruit in abduction and change in direction of vector forces was minimal. [ 3 4 ] Figure 2 does not demonstrate improved abduction.…”
