The STAR approach is an innovative technique for total hip replacement, developed by Professor Tsiridis, which thanks to the particularly small incision and the maximum possible protection of the soft tissues, ensures superior functional and aesthetic results. By keeping muscles intact, which are sacrificed in conventional or other MIS approaches, offers minimal bleeding and pain along with faster recovery. It is suitable for all patients with any pathology and can be utilized with any implant choice or technique. The surgical team led by Professor Tsiridis, has gained significant experience from the large number of STAR procedures performed over the last 5 years and can guarantee top functional results with absolute safety.

Testimonial
Mr. Fotis Vakratsas a 60-year-old, lawyer, underwent STAR total hip arthroplasty by Professor Tsiridis.
