In the distant future, we might be able to walk into an operating room and have joints like our hips swapped painlessly for new ones, while we use our smart glasses to read the digital newspapers. Unfortunately, we're not quite there yet - but that isn't to say that there haven't been major improvements. Today, getting a hip replacement is very different than it was a decade ago - and all for the better.

With new techniques like the BIKINI or SPAIRE approach, you can count on having a faster recovery, less post-op pain, or even hiding the scarring so no one will ever know.

I'll give you a full breakdown of how things have changed and what to expect - but if you would rather get the details directly from the specialists... well, I can't complain about that, it's what I would do.

So here's a link to my source, Prof. Paul Lee, from MSK Doctors in London - https://mskdoctors.com/doctors/paul-lee/articles/advantages-of-spaire-and-bikini-hip-replacement-techniques-in-hip-arthroplasty

BIKINI Hip Replacement for Minimal Scarring

While that link describes both the SPAIRE and BIKINI techniques, today we're going to focus on the BIKINI option, because it's the only option I know of that can significantly reduce, or hide, the hip replacement scar.

So how does it work? Well, the short answer is simple - they hide the scar in the bikini line, hence the name. Of course, that's not the only change or the only benefit, but it's hard to beat all the same.

It's even harder to beat when you consider the other benefits, like a minimally invasive procedure that manages to avoid cutting many of the important muscles and tendons around your hip. That's incredibly important because it means there's less surgical trauma to heal.

As a result, it's common to have a faster recovery, with a reduced risk of dislocations, and you can even go home the day after your surgery in most cases.

Get Moving Soon After Surgery

Since the surgical team is able to complete the operation without causing as much damage, they might even ask you to start exercising your hip's full range of motion, soon after your surgery.

I'm not going to share individual citations here, you can find them all at the link I share below - but let me share a few of the results they've found in clinical trials with this technique.

We can start by talking about how, by leaving most of the muscles and tendons surrounding your hip intact, you're much less likely to dislocate your new hip while it's healing. It makes sense, right? There's less damage to the muscles and tendons, so they hold on tighter, and you have less to heal.

We could also talk about how the minimal damage caused during the surgery reduces your risk of walking with a limp while you heal, or how it can reduce wound complications.

What I want to talk about though, is something you won't find in the surgeon's guides I shared - a little tip about how to get the best results.

Use an experienced specialist surgeon.

That's it, that's the whole tip - but let me explain why.

The BIKINI technique, while remarkable, is still new. In trials, it was found that while it's very useful for reducing scarring, it had the best results when performed by a surgeon who's practiced at it.

That shouldn't be a surprise for anyone, but the thing is - there aren't many experienced surgeons yet. That's why I've been getting my data from Prof. Paul Lee at MSK Doctors because he's one of the few surgeons available with extensive experience and an easy booking system.
