Summary

In this add on procedure, the provider places adjustable sutures on the extraocular muscle that the provider is performing a separately reportable strabismus repair on. The provider performs this procedure so that he can regulate the tension of the suture strings on the muscle to allow adjustment of the muscle as necessary. A provider reports this procedure to indicate the work to place the adjustable suture.
