Get back on your feet faster with MSK Doctors (0330 001 0048), a private clinic in Lincoln staffed by some of the UK’s top musculoskeletal specialists. They use cutting-edge surgical techniques to help you reduce your recovery time, and you can even book online.
Your health is important, but sometimes it can feel like trying to see a doctor or get an operation is a game of "hurry up and wait."
You rush to make an appointment, then wait weeks until you can be seen.
Wait forever in the lobby, then get rushed through a quick appointment.
Wait for weeks or months to get in for surgery, rush through the operation, and then spend more weeks or months waiting to heal.
You shouldn't have to play "hurry up and wait" for months just to get your health taken care of - that's why MSK Doctors have a self-referral program you can use to get fast access to specialists, and you don't even require a GP referral.
They don't just get you in the door fast though, they also use advanced surgical strategies to reduce the trauma caused during your operation, so you can recover faster too. One example is the new SPAIRE hip replacement technique, which is shown to help you recover faster, without any mobility restrictions after the operation.

In a traditional hip replacement operation, surgeons are required to cut several important muscles and tendons, which can lead to long recovery times, and limited mobility during your healing process. Using the SPAIRE technique, Prof. Paul Lee of MSK Doctors can complete a full hip replacement, without damaging the abductor muscles or your quadriceps coxae.
Though studies comparing the two hip replacement techniques have been small so far, the results suggest that the SPAIRE technique can offer several immediate benefits, with no obvious negative effects. The most significant benefit is in the few weeks following your operation, when considering the mobility limitations during recovery.
After a standard hip replacement, you would be given a list of activities to avoid. This can include leaning forward while sitting or standing, lifting your knees higher than your hips, and sitting on low surfaces. With the SPAIRE technique, you have no restrictions on your mobility, and a reduced risk of dislocation, due to the reduced surgical trauma.
MSK Doctors has combined a "no waitlist" policy and a self-referral program, so you can easily book an appointment online or over the phone without a GP referral. By partnering with several local clinics, MSK Doctors can provide fast access to a range of specialists, advanced diagnostic equipment, and enhanced surgical techniques, from some of the UK’s top experts.
You can use the self-referral program to schedule your own diagnostic scans using the only Open MRI device in the county or to set up an appointment with a musculoskeletal specialist. It only takes a few minutes to set up an appointment, and they can usually be scheduled within a few days because of the clinic’s “no waitlist” policy.
A satisfied patient said, “The operation was flawless, exactly as described, and Professor Lee was there both after the procedure and for the follow-up to check everything was going well. I would be glad to recommend Professor Lee to anyone looking for an orthopaedic surgeon and would for sure look to him first should I ever need it again in the future.”
