If you're in need of a new hip, I'm glad you found this page - because I've got some news that can't wait.

Getting a hip replacement has changed, just recently, from an overwhelming and often painful experience, to... well, it's still not exactly pleasant, no surgery is, but I think you'll like the improvements.

I'll give you the layman's version, as best I can - but if at any time you feel like you need to hear it straight from the experts, I'll also share a link to my sources.

I got my information from Professor Paul Lee, the founder of MSK Doctors in London, and a specialist in several new hip replacement techniques. He even trained with Dr. Timperley at the renowned Exeter Hip Unit, where the latest and greatest techniques were invented and perfected.

Not only is he a specialist in this new Spare surgery - but he also wrote some helpful articles explaining what's changed, why it matters, and what it means to you. You can check out the source material, or even make an appointment to speak with Prof. Lee, with no referral, and no waiting list. Just visit the link I left in the description, or bookmark it for later.

Now, let's discuss that What, Where, How & Who

One of the first things you'll find if you start searching is that this technique isn't available everywhere yet. In fact, it's still fairly rare, even though it's almost certainly the best option. The problem is, it's still new - and that means most surgeons aren't going to be trained in, much less experienced at, this new technique just yet.

That doesn't mean it's not accessible - I wouldn't bother telling you about it if you couldn't access it yourself. You just need to visit one of the trained, experienced, surgeons who's ahead of the times, and already offering it.

So how does it differ from the "traditional option?"

The short version is simple - imagine all the muscles and tendons that a surgeon has to cut to access your hip bones. Damage to those muscles is what leads to post-operative restrictions, potential dislocations, and post-operative pain. So what if we didn't damage them?

It sounds a lot simpler than it is - but the point is, that it's possible to perform the same surgery while causing minimal damage to only a few muscles and tendons, and that changes everything.

What about After The Surgery?

Imagine going home after a traditional surgery - you would have several restrictions right from the start, like no lifting your hips past 90 degrees, no twisting them, and no crossing your legs.

Now, imagine that again, except without all those restrictions - that's the difference.

Actually, it's more than that - because with the Spare technique, there's so much healthy muscle and tendon still doing its job, there's no risk of dislocations, and your surgeon will probably even tell you to exercise your hips full range of motion, right away.

Within 23 hours after your surgery, MSK Doctors will send you back home, with a personalised recovery plan to get you back to your old self, in no time.

Worried about Aesthetic Appeal?

Then before you go, there's one more thing you should know - that you may have already been concerned about.

The Spare procedure does leave a scar, and it will be visible if your hip is exposed.

Unfortunately, there's no way to use the Spare procedure without a scar - but, but, there is a way.

Ask your surgeon, or Prof. Paul Lee, about the Bikini D A A technique. It's similar to the Spare option, but it places a focus on hiding the scar inside the bikini line, where it's practically invisible.

The choice is up to you - just make sure that you get a trained and experienced specialist - because while these techniques are greatly improved, you'll still get the best possible results when choosing an experienced surgeon, and your health matters.
