Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?

Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.

It's not muscles that are damaged bad enough to end a player's career but meniscus and ligaments. The more common injuries are to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and meniscus (cartilage). Severe ligament or meniscus injuries require surgery to repair and it is possible to damage all three at the same time. An single injury to meniscus is generally not considered career threatening but an injury to the ACL and/or MCL certainly can be.
