According to the NHS, the need for hip replacement surgery in the UK keeps growing, with more patients requiring this crucial surgery every year. MSK Doctors, a specialist clinic with a focus on musculoskeletal conditions, has updated its self-referral program to help more patients access total hip replacement surgery, using the latest surgical techniques and scar-reducing procedures.

Although hip replacement surgery is not new, there are several techniques only recently developed that can help to minimize surgical trauma, scarring, and patient recovery times. Prof. Paul Lee, the MSK Doctors founder and hip specialist, has trained in several of these techniques, including helping to perfect the SPAIRE technique with Dr. Timperley, at the renowned Exeter Hip Unit.
MSK Doctors offer two advanced surgical techniques, known as the BIKINI and SPAIRE procedures, with each option providing a distinct set of benefits. The BIKINI technique has recently become popular as it is considered to be the most effective method to reduce scarring when performed by a surgeon with experience in this particular procedure.
Through the BIKINI procedure, a surgeon can hide any scarring in the client's bikini line, while also using an innovative technique to reduce surgical trauma, scarring, and wound complications. This method also allows the surgeon to perform a complete hip replacement without cutting any major muscles, making it easier for patients to recover, and resulting in a shorter hospital stay.
In most cases, the MSK Doctors team can send patients home the day after their surgery, with minimal movement restrictions. Most patients can stand and walk with crutches nearly immediately after their surgery, and they can often return to driving within a month of their operation.
While the BIKINI technique has been rising in popularity, the MSK Doctors team also offers the SPAIRE technique, which has been shown to greatly reduce surgical trauma, and may result in the fastest recovery times. With the SPAIRE technique, the surgical team can avoid damaging several important muscle and tendon groups, leaving clients with a stronger, more stable hip joint during the healing process.
A spokesperson for MSK Doctors explained, "It is advised to do your research on the total hip replacement surgery, before going ahead. Different surgeons utilise varying approaches to the procedure, ultimately determining the circumstances of the total hip replacement, in both pre-operative and post-operative cases."
