case_images: This laceration projected a structure akin to Tenon's capsule and the rectus muscle through the conjunctival disruption (Fig. 1).
case_images: The inferior rectus muscle was completely cut.

case_images: The proximal segment of the IR muscle was identified in situ just beneath 6.5 mm from the lower limbus, whereas the distal portion remained elusive initially due to its retraction into the orbit (Fig. 3).
