title: Situational Restriction of Elevation in Adduction Relieved by Faden on the Medial Rectus.
abstract: We describe a patient with situational restriction of elevation in adduction in his left eye. Clinical examination pointed to instability of the left medial rectus pulley. This was corrected by Faden on the medial rectus. The importance of this relatively new concept in identifying and treating orbital pulley instability is discussed.
