Inferior Rectus and Inferior Oblique Muscle Transections with Medial Rectus Muscle Partial Avulsion, following Metal Hook Injury.

Avulsion or transection of three extraocular muscles following trauma is a rare finding, and there are few case reports and series discussing the approach to surgical repair. The authors report a case of a penetrating metal hook injury resulting in partial avulsion of a medial rectus muscle and transection of the inferior rectus and inferior oblique muscles. This case highlights the importance of identification and primary repair of a complete inferior rectus muscle transection and a partial medial rectus muscle avulsion with an excellent functional outcome.
