Scleral fixated IOLs in case of inadequacy of capsular support and scleral sutured capsular tension rings when adequate zonular support is inavailable have been recently used in cataract surgery. In these techniques, polypropylene suture is used and the suture ends over the sclera after the knot ha...s been formed, may erode the conjunctiva and become exposed. Thus, the erosion may lead to the development of endophtalmitis. In order to prevent the aforementioned complication, scleral flaps, otologous cornea, duramater or fascia lata patches have been used to cover the knot and rotation of the knot into the tissues has been described.

The BMHR uses the same socket (hydroxyapatite-coated metal uncemented cup) and bearing(metal on metal) as the BHR. The modular head component fits onto a hydroxyapatite proximal porous coated cobalt chrome stem. It is an uncemented short stemmed prosthesis. It was invented by Prof. Dereck Mc.Minn a year ago and is performed by very few surgeons the world over. In India it is being done only at the Asian Regional Center for Hip Resurfacing in Chennai.
