Using the new BIKINI Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) hip replacement technique, the MSK Doctors clinic in London can provide minimally invasive complete hip replacement surgery. As a result, patients are often able to return home the day after their surgery with minimal mobility restrictions, and very limited scarring.
More information about new hip replacement techniques, including both the BIKINI and SPAIRE procedures and details about booking an appointment can be found at https://mskdoctors.com/doctors/paul-lee/articles/advantages-of-spaire-and-bikini-hip-replacement-techniques-in-hip-arthroplasty
While there are several options available for a total hip replacement, the BIKINI DAA technique combines several improvements with a focus on reducing recovery times, minimizing surgical trauma, and hiding any visible scarring. This technique has also been shown to reduce the chance of a post-operative dislocation, allowing patients to return to their full range of motion sooner.
To reduce or hide the visible scarring, this procedure uses a new technique that places the initial incision parallel to the patient's existing skin creases. This allows the surgical team to access the patient's hip while reducing the need to cut important muscles or tendons, and reduces the visibility of any resulting scars by hiding them in the "bikini line."
Although this technique was initially proposed to reduce scarring, it has shown several other benefits in clinical studies, including a significant reduction in post-operative pain, and early improvements to patients' functional recovery.(1) The reduction in surgical trauma from this new procedure has also been shown to reduce post-operative limping and to improve the stability of the hip during the healing process.(2)
New patients can access the BIKINI or SPAIRE hip replacement techniques with no waiting list, using the MSK Doctors online booking system. This service allows anyone to book an appointment for the next available time slot, for diagnosis, treatment, or consultation, without requiring a referral from their GP.
The MSK Doctors clinic was founded by Prof. Paul Lee, a hip specialist who trained in and helped to perfect several of these new techniques at the renowned Exeter Hip Unit. Prof. Lee and the MSK Doctors clinic are known for their work using minimally invasive surgical techniques, and advanced regenerative medicine.
