In a new report on the SPAIRE hip replacement procedure, Prof. Paul Lee, the founder of MSK Doctors in London and an experienced specialist in several hip replacement surgeries, explains how this new surgical option preserves several important muscles and tendons in the patient's hip, kick-starting their recovery.

While this new surgical technique is not available yet at most clinics, the report suggests that this is likely due to a lack of surgeons trained in the new technique, since it offers improvements in several critical areas. New patients can schedule a consultation with a specialist from MSK Doctors to discuss their options, with no referral from their GP, and no waiting list.
With a traditional hip replacement, the surgical team must cut and then repair several important muscle groups. In time, these muscles and tendons will often fully recover, but during the healing process, patients are often restricted in how they can move. This may include a restriction against bending the knees too much, twisting their legs, or crossing them.
The SPAIRE technique, due to its muscle-saving approach, allows patients to return home within 23 hours after their procedure, with no mobility restrictions whatsoever. While patients should refrain from strenuous exercise during their initial recovery, the report explains that the SPAIRE procedure provides so much stability, that the surgical team may ask patients to exercise their hip's full range of motion soon after their operation.
The new report from Prof. Paul Lee explains in detail how the SPAIRE procedure preserves the piriformis and obturator internus muscles, and how this changes the outcome of the procedure. In clinical studies, this technique was also shown to reduce the potential for post-operative dislocations, with no SPAIRE subject experiencing a dislocation during trials.
However, while this new surgical option provides several benefits related to hastening the patient's recovery, the report also mentions another option, focusing on reducing visible scarring. This aesthetic-focused option is known as the Bikini DAA surgery and allows the surgeon to provide many of the same benefits as a SPAIRE procedure while hiding the scar in the bikini line.
