title: Paralytic strabismus correction by adjustable suture technique.
abstract: The surgical correction of four cases of paralytic strabismus, in which the muscle is repositioned postoperatively with the active co-operation of the patient, is described. The method adopted by the author, by inserting the suture near the limbus, increases the degree of adjustability and allows for more extensive repositioning of the conjunctiva.
