UK Piriformis-Sparing Posterior Hip Surgery At Specialist Clinic Announced

This modern hip replacement technique is a minimally invasive procedure offering faster recovery times and better long-term outcomes for patients with hip pain that cannot be managed through lifestyle modifications, exercise, or medications. Performed by specialised orthopaedic surgeons within the MSK Doctors network, the SPAIRE technique spares vital muscles and enhances joint stability, improving patients’ mobility and quality of life.

Multiple clinical studies confirm that preserving the piriformis and obturator internus muscles through the SPAIRE technique results in superior hip stability and functional outcomes. One landmark study reveals patients who underwent SPAIRE experienced zero dislocations, compared to dislocation rates of 3.9% and 5.3% in other groups. Patients also demonstrated a faster return to pre-injury mobility compared to traditional surgical methods.

“SPAIRE is a game-changer in hip replacement surgery,” says Professor Paul Lee, consulting orthopaedic surgeon and international expert in advanced orthopaedic techniques. “By prioritising muscle preservation, we ensure our patients enjoy shorter recovery periods and lasting improvements in their mobility. This technique embodies our commitment to excellence and personalised treatments through MSK Doctors.”

Surgeons performing the SPAIRE technique use a modified posterior approach that preserves key anatomical structures, including the quadriceps coxae, which plays a pivotal role in hip movement. This preservation enhances both the restoration of function and overall hip stability. Specialists at MSK Doctors say continued advancements in implant designs, such as dual mobility systems, are showing promise as an improved treatment option for individuals who need enhanced stability and a wider range of motion before dislocation.

Professor Lee gained his expertise in the SPAIRE technique while completing his fellowship at the prestigious Exeter Hip Unit. Through extensive research and the publication of its benefits in leading medical journals, the SPAIRE technique has become a cornerstone of Professor Lee’s approach to total hip replacement surgery.

At MSK Doctors’ specialised clinics, every hip replacement begins with a comprehensive physical assessment to determine the most suitable implant for individual patient needs. Professor Lee carefully selects advanced polyethylene implants designed for ultra-low wear, proven mechanical strength, performance, and active stabilisation to minimise oxidisation. This innovative approach ensures reliable outcomes, promotes faster recovery, and extends the lifespan of the new hip joint, helping patients return to an active, pain-free life.
