The standard

What “SPAIRE-Verified” means.

Every surgeon in this registry meets a consistent standard, so the badge means the same thing wherever you see it.

Where SPAIRE comes from

The SPAIRE muscle-sparing approach was developed by Professor John Timperley in Exeter. This registry lists surgeons practising the approach across the UK; it does not claim to originate it.

  • Trained in the approach

    The surgeon performs the SPAIRE muscle-sparing posterior approach and can evidence their training in it.

  • Substantive consultant

    On the GMC Specialist Register for Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery, with a current licence to practise.

  • Accountable for outcomes

    The surgeon keeps their own outcome and complication audit and is willing to discuss it with patients.

  • Verification confirms training and standing, not a ranking. It does not promise a particular outcome — suitability for SPAIRE is always decided case by case after examination and imaging.

For surgeons

Join the SPAIRE network.

We are building the canonical UK registry of surgeons trained in the SPAIRE muscle-sparing hip-replacement approach. If you perform SPAIRE and stand behind your outcomes, we would like to list you.

Why join

  • Patient demand for the term

    Patients are starting to search for "SPAIRE surgeon" by name. A listing puts you in front of that intent directly.

  • Shared search authority

    A single canonical UK registry ranks for the approach far better than scattered individual pages. Every listed surgeon benefits.

  • A referral network

    Listed surgeons can refer regionally to one another when a patient is closer to a colleague, keeping care within the network.

Criteria to be listed

  • Trained in the SPAIRE approach

    You perform the SPAIRE muscle-sparing posterior approach to total hip replacement and can evidence your training in it.

  • Full GMC registration

    Substantive consultant on the GMC Specialist Register for Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery, with a licence to practise.

  • You audit your outcomes

    You keep and can discuss your own outcome and complication data — the registry lists surgeons who stand behind their results.
