What if you could get a brand new hip, without losing your mobility, having a big visible scar, or having a long and drawn-out recovery? MSK Doctors (+4403300010048) in London has just what you’re looking for: a new, advanced surgery, called the Bikini DAA.
The best kind of surgery, is the kind you can forget about a year later.
What if a surgeon could return you to full health, with no obvious signs of the surgery itself, and such a thorough recovery that you might even forget it ever happened? That's what MSK Doctors in London aims for with the Bikini DAA. If you haven't heard of it, check out https://mskdoctors.com/treatments/bikini-hip
Here's the short version, in a very small nutshell.
Imagine a surgery where there's no visible scar, no limits to your mobility, and practically no risk of re-injuring yourself during the shortened recovery time. That's Bikini.
If you've never heard of it, buckle up, because we're going to go all the way down the rabbit hole, talking about the Bikini procedure.
It's worth the few minutes this will take to get you all the details, because this procedure helps you to recover your full mobility faster and with less visible scarring, and that's just the beginning.
If you would rather talk to an expert, directly, I don't blame you. Here's my advice - you can book a visit with an MSK Doctors specialist at any time, with no referral, no waiting list, and no nonsense. Just visit their website at the link I shared earlier, and book a visit for consultation, diagnosis, or even treatment. You can do it all yourself, online or over the phone.
Now, where were we? Oh yes, why the Bikini procedure is so advanced, and why it matters.
It's a relatively new, minimally invasive hip replacement technique that uses a Direct Anterior Approach or "DAA", which enables the surgical team to reduce damage caused to major muscles, tendons, and nerves in your hip. In clinical trials, this approach has been shown to reduce recovery times, improve mobility, and help you return to your normal daily activities sooner.
I hear this question a lot, so let me answer it simply: One day, it probably will be, but right now it's too new.
Also, there's one problem with this technique - if a surgeon isn't experienced with it, it can lead to complications. Not life-threatening ones, but in clinical trials the more experienced a surgeon was, the better they were able to minimise the surgical trauma, and the resulting visible scarring.
So while this technique could likely be the standard option someday, it's going to take quite a while to train all the surgical staff. In the meantime, it's still available, you just need to find the right expert, with extensive experience.
The MSK Doctors private hospital focuses on musculoskeletal conditions and advanced surgical techniques, like the Bikini DAA, which is why I thought of them first. Of course, all the surgical options they offer are approved and thoroughly tested, they're just a little too specialised or new to be available in most clinics yet.
The new procedure allows a skilled surgeon to access your hip while removing the requirement to cut important muscles and tendons, resulting in a stronger hip joint immediately after your operation. In clinical trials, this has been shown to reduce blood loss and the risk of dislocations or limping during the healing process.
I have to admit that I don't understand exactly how it works, or how they can access a hip without cutting a bunch of muscles, but I'm very happy they can. I'll leave the exact details up to the surgeons, if you want to know more, just ask them.
Here's what I do know. The Bikini procedure, while similar in several ways to other DAA techniques, also uses a unique initial incision that helps the surgical team to hide any resulting scar tissue in your “bikini line.” Yes, the scar is still there, they're surgeons, not magicians, but who's going to see it hidden in your bikini line?
An excerpt I copied from the MSK Doctors website explains, “One of the main advantages of the direct anterior approach is the potential for faster recovery and rehabilitation. Studies have shown that patients who undergo THA using the DAA may experience less postoperative pain, have shorter hospital stays, and achieve better early outcomes in terms of pain relief and functional recovery.”
I'm not a surgeon myself, so my advice is really simple.
If you're in need of a new hip, why not try the newest techniques, that cause the minimum of surgical trauma, and have the fastest recovery times?
