Hang-back recession of a rectus muscle offers several advantages over conventional techniques: a reduced risk of scleral perforation, easy intraoperative adjustment, and a convenient site for suturing to the sclera. There are also disadvantages: the muscle tends to collapse, thereby increasing the effective recession and making the result less predictable. In addition, the insertion cannot accurately be displaced upward or downward, as may be required to correct A- and V-patterns, or vertical deviations. The authors describe a modified technique, an anchored hang-back recession, and discuss the results in 60 consecutive cases of bimedial rectus recession.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006956	Hyperopia	A refractive error in which rays of light entering the eye parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus behind the retina, as a result of the eyeball being too short from front to back. It is also called farsightedness because the near point is more distant than it is in emmetropia with an equal amplitude of accommodation. (Dorland, 27th ed)	Farsightedness,Hypermetropia
D007223	Infant	A child between 1 and 23 months of age.	Infants
D007431	Intraoperative Complications	Complications that affect patients during surgery. They may or may not be associated with the disease for which the surgery is done, or within the same surgical procedure.

D009801	Oculomotor Muscles	The muscles that move the eye. Included in this group are the medial rectus, lateral rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus, inferior oblique, superior oblique, musculus orbitalis, and levator palpebrae superioris.

D004948	Esotropia	A form of ocular misalignment characterized by an excessive convergence of the visual axes, resulting in a "cross-eye" appearance. An example of this condition occurs when paralysis of the lateral rectus muscle causes an abnormal inward deviation of one eye on attempted gaze.
