MSK Doctors (+4403300010048), a private London clinic providing the latest in musculoskeletal treatments, announces its muscle-preserving hip replacement surgery for enhanced hip stability and faster postoperative recovery.

Sleaford, United Kingdom - October 15, 2024 —

Known as the SPAIRE (Soft-tissue Preserving, Anatomic, Internus muscle Retaining, External rotator preserving) technique, this new, modern approach to hip replacement surgery is recognised for its ability to preserve muscles and anatomy, resulting in enhanced hip stability and faster recovery. MSK Doctors, led by renowned Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Professor Paul Lee, MBBCh, MFSEM (UK), MSc, PhD, FEBOT (EU), FRCS (T&O), is a one-of-a-kind private clinic that offers this innovative procedure.

The SPAIRE technique aims to minimise damage to the muscles and tendons surrounding the hip joint. Unlike traditional hip replacement procedures, SPAIRE allows surgeons to preserve, or “spare”, key muscles - particularly the piriformis, the obturator internus - which play a central role in hip stability and movement. These advantages are due to the technique’s modified posterior approach to the hip, which also reduces postoperative pain and improves gait and mobility.

“The SPAIRE technique has been shown to be effective in enhancing postoperative hip stability and recovery,” says Prof. Lee. “Its capacity to significantly reduce the risk of dislocations makes this innovative, minimally invasive approach to hip surgery particularly suited to patients who are active and prioritise a quicker recovery and long-term joint stability.”

Prof. Lee points to a 2008 study that divided 557 hip replacement patients (670 hips) into three groups based on treatment approach. The group in which the external rotator muscles were preserved experienced no dislocations, compared to 3.9 percent of study participants in the repaired group and 5.3 percent of patients in the non-repaired group that did.

Traditional hip replacement surgeries often involve detaching or cutting muscles to access the hip joint, which can lead to longer recovery times and reduced post-surgery mobility. By preserving the piriformis muscle and the obturator internus, the SPAIRE technique circumvents these disadvantages. Its minimally invasive nature also reduces trauma to the soft tissue around the hip joint, further contributing to improved recovery times, less post-operative pain, enhanced stability, and a quicker return to daily activities.

Unique to MSK Doctors is its on-site dedicated open MRI scanner designed specifically for musculoskeletal issues, alongside an on-site motion capture lab and ultrasound services. There are no waitlists at MSK Doctors, and patients can book immediate appointments online or by phone.
