[Dependence of mobility of an eye prosthesis on the method of rectus muscle fixation].
The relationship between the mobility of eye prosthesis and method of musculus rectus fixation was investigated. The results indicate that fixation of the muscles to subconjunctival tissues allows the best mobility of the eye prosthesis. This method of musculus rectus fixation is most similar to anatomical fixation. In addition, fixation of musculus rectus is essential for configuration and mobility of the conjunctival cavity. Hence, the optimal method for fixation of musculus rectus in order to attain the best mobility of the eye prosthesis and therefore the best cosmetic result can be chosen during enucleation.
