UK-trained · Spine surgery · Minimally invasive treatments for international patients
Hip pain can severely affect daily life, limiting mobility, independence, and quality of life. Many international residents and visitors in Spain face advanced hip arthritis or joint damage that requires expert evaluation.
Dr. Miguel Bañuls, a UK-trained orthopaedic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience, offers modern hip replacement surgery in Jávea, applying the latest minimally invasive techniques to help patients regain comfort, stability, and freedom of movement.
Hip replacement may be indicated when non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief, particularly in cases of:
Osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease)
Rheumatoid arthritis
Hip joint fractures
Avascular necrosis (loss of bone blood supply)
Post-traumatic hip damage
Severe joint stiffness and mobility loss
Early diagnosis and personalised evaluation allow us to determine whether surgery is appropriate, and which type of implant best fits each patient’s needs.
Dr. Bañuls applies minimally invasive hip replacement techniques whenever possible, which offer:
Smaller incisions and less muscle damage
Reduced hospital stay
Faster post-operative recovery
Lower risk of complications
Quicker return to daily activities
By preserving soft tissue and limiting trauma, patients often recover faster and experience better long-term joint function.
Each patient receives an individualised surgical plan based on:
Age
Bone quality
Activity level
Joint deformities
Prior surgeries (if any)
We work with high-quality, internationally recognised prosthesis brands, designed for long-term durability and stability.
Whenever possible, conservative treatments may be considered before hip replacement surgery:
Physical therapy
Intra-articular injections
Pain management strategies
Lifestyle adaptations
Dr. Bañuls ensures that patients fully understand their options, risks, and expected outcomes before committing to surgery.
