If you're coping with debilitating hip pain and you've been looking into hip replacement surgery, you may have come across the latest in hip replacement methods called the SPAIRE technique, and been impressed by the many benefits this option offers. But what do you really know about the purpose, advantages, potential side effects, cost, and recovery times associated with this new method?
A leading consortium of musculoskeletal doctors and surgeons who are part of MSK Doctors have published an article that covers all those important considerations, giving you the information you need to make an informed decision about your hip replacement options.
Arm yourself with all the facts by reading SPAIRE Hip Replacement: Purpose, Benefits, Side Effects, Cost, Time to Work, by Professor Paul Lee, founder of MSK Doctors, at https://mskdoctors.com/doctors/thula-chelvan/articles/spaire-hip-replacement-purpose-benefits-side-effects-cost-time-to-work
The term SPAIRE stands for Spare Piriformis And Internus, Repair Externus. It is a modification of the standard posterior approach to hip surgery that preserves your key muscles, 'sparing' the piriformis and obturator internus muscles while carefully repairing the externus muscle. This approach minimizes trauma to your hip area, resulting in less pain and a faster recovery time. Additionally, the SPAIRE technique reduces your risk of dislocation in the future, and is minimally invasive, leaving only a small incision scar.
Patients who undergo the SPAIRE technique typically return to full levels of activity without restrictions. This makes the technique ideal if you're someone who is active or athletic, if you fall within a normal weight range, and if you have strong muscle mass.
Professor Lee explains:
“Imagine a hip replacement that gets you back on your feet faster, with less pain and a more stable hip. That’s what SPAIRE offers."
Professor Lee is a double board-certified orthopaedic surgeon with five international fellowships. He emphasises that the SPAIRE procedure uses modern implants and advanced surgical tools, developed from the latest innovations in medical engineering, to ensure optimal durability and function, resulting in the pain-free mobility you deserve, and a longer-lasting implant that you also deserve.
While SPAIRE is a breakthrough technique, the specialists at MSK Doctors caution that, like all surgeries, it can carry risks. As such, it's important you discuss potential post-operative complications like infections, blood clots, or the need for revision surgery with your doctor so you can evaluate your fit for this procedure.
The cost of this technique is also an important consideration and can vary widely based on a number of factors. Many insurance plans, including Medicare, typically cover hip replacement surgery, but to confirm all the details it's best to consult with your provider.
As specialists in SPAIRE surgery, MSK Doctors and partnering clinics are here to ensure you receive the best in personalized care and the information you need to make informed decisions about your health.
