Mr Panos Makrides is the only Surgeon in the Midlands specialising in minimally invasive hip surgery, utilising a new approach, (direct superior approach).

Panos specialises in minimally invasive hip surgery, utilising a new approach, (direct superior approach). This approach spares all the muscles that are essential for normal gait, which means that the rehabilitation can be faster and the chances of developing abnormal gait (trendelenburg gait) are significantly reduced.

This in conjunction with a small scar, improves satisfaction, speeds up return to baseline activity and reduces the length of stay in the hospital.

To date, Panos has performed more than 200 primary hip replacements using the approach described above with excellent results in terms of patient-reported satisfaction.
