Special Interests  

Mr. Davarinos uses the latest techniques for his patients including computer assisted knee navigation and an anterior minimally invasive surgery (AMIS) for hip replacements, also known as the ‘bikini’ hip replacement. The AMIS technique allows the surgeon to perform a hip replacement or arthroplasty through a small skin incision, avoiding injury to the muscles, tendons and nerves. The AMIS technique allows the patient to recover more quickly than some other techniques because no muscles are cut. Patients who undergo a bikini hip replacement can potentially benefit from decreased pain after their operation, a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to daily activities.
