SPAIRE Hip Instruments are exclusively available to purchase at Platts & Nisbett.

The SPAIRE technique (Sparing Piriformis And Internus, Repair Externus) involves a muscle sparing posterior approach to the hip. Fewer tendons are damaged using the SPAIRE technique than any other approach to the hip as it involves division (and subsequent repair) of only one small tendon. This technique allows patients to mobilise without any post-operative restriction to their activities.

We currently have a Job Vacancy for an experienced Customer Service Administrator.

Hours:

34.5 hours per week (Monday - Friday)

Mon – Thurs: 9am – 4:45pm

Fri: 9am – 4:15pm

In last year’s Apprentice Interviews, she scored the highest of all candidates in our practical test, and was chosen from a group of strong applicants.
