Achieve optimal results after hip surgery
A minimally invasive technique for faster and safe recovery
Are you in need of a hip replacement? Consider undrgoing hip surgery in Spain with the anterior (front) approach, followed by a comprehensive rehabilitation program at a comfortable care centre in Denia or Benidorm.
The anterior approach is a minimally invasive surgical technique that offers numerous advantages. It is gentler to the surrounding tissues leading to a quicker recovery with a reduced risk of dislocation.
; The surgery is performed at Hospital HCB in Dénia, Spain, by the highly skilled Dutch orthopedic surgeon, Drs Lucas Kleijn.

The key advantage of hip treatment with Hipfix: Comprehensive aftercare
Recovering from hip replacement surgery in the Netherlands typically means being discharged from the hospital the day after your procedure. However, aftercare is often not provided by the hospital, leaving many patients to rely on informal help from family, friends, or neighbors. While recovery in a care home can be an option, these facilities are not always available, and often, this care is not covered by insurance.
At Hipfix, we offer a more complete aftercare solution in collaboration with trusted rehabilitation partners. Thanks to efficient organization and strong agreements with health insurers or the Healthcareabroad team (for Irish patients ; healthcareabroad.ie ), we provide an accessible, high-quality recovery experience.
Take the next step towards pain-free movement and rehabilitate in an ideal setting, surrounded by palmtrees. This is your best chance for an outstanding recovery!

Hip surgery using the anterior approach
- Quicker Recovery: Benefit from a faster healing process, getting you back to your routine sooner.
- Minimized Muscle Damage: Advanced techniques ensure minimal impact on surrounding muscles, aiding in a smoother recovery.
- Reduced Pain: Experience less pain both during and after the procedure, thanks to improved surgical methods.
- Lower Risk of Limping: With precise techniques, the chances of developing a limp post-surgery are significantly reduced.
- Minimal Risk of Leg Length Discrepancy: Surgical accuracy ensures your leg lengths remain balanced, reducing the risk of discrepancies.
- Lower Risk of Dislocation: Enhanced procedures lead to a reduced risk of hip dislocation, promoting greater stability and security.
The anterior approach utilizes an anatomical interval, meaning surgery is performed between the muscles surrounding the hip. This technique results in minimal muscle damage and a faster recovery, making it the ideal choice for hip surgery. However, the technique is technically more demanding and, therefore, not yet widespread in use.
