The decision whether to attempt primary repair or to have a staged approach is difficult to make, with each having its merits and demerits. We report here a case of direct injury to the medial rectus resulting in its complete transection. The patient was successfully managed by imaging followed by exploration and reattachment of the transected muscle in a single surgery. }, URL ={https://www.ijhas.in/article.asp?issn=2278-344X;year=2016;volume=5;issue=2;spage=111;epage=114;aulast=Singh;t=6}, eprint ={https://www.ijhas.in/article.asp?issn=2278-344X;year=2016;volume=5;issue=2;spage=111;epage=114;aulast=Singh;t=6} }
