case_images: On examination, he had an injury to the lower lid involving the lacrimal canal (Figure 2 (Fig. 2)), a tear in the conjunctiva, and a ruptured inferior rectus muscle (Figure 3 (Fig. 3)). The lacrimal canal was repaired using the Teflon sleeve of a 22G Intracath (Figure 2 (Fig. 2)), which was left in place for 6 weeks.

case_images: On examination, he had an injury to the lower lid involving the lacrimal canal (Figure 2 (Fig. 2)), a tear in the conjunctiva, and a ruptured inferior rectus muscle (Figure 3 (Fig. 3)). We found the proximal end of the inferior rectus muscle and sutured it to the distal end, achieving proper strength, as detected by orthophoria in the primary position and inferior movements at the end of the repair (Figure 3 (Fig. 3)).
