Is SuperPATH better than anterior hip replacement?
In general, our meta-analysis indicated that hip replacement via SuperPATH approach was superior to hip replacement via conventional approaches regarding the investigated outcomes. SuperPATH approach for hip replacement showed better results on decreasing incision length and early postoperative pain intensity.
Where is the incision for SuperPATH hip replacement?
Surgical Procedure Superpath hip replacement is performed under general anesthesia. You will lie on your side for the procedure. A 2-3 cm incision is made on the side of your hip. Your surgeon retracts the buttock muscles and tendons to access the hip joint without cutting any soft tissues.
Who is a candidate for SuperPATH hip replacement?
A: Pretty much anyone who is a candidate for standard hip replacement would be a candidate for a SuperPATH procedure. I have converted many patients from a hip fracture fixation to a total hip replacement with SuperPATH.
How long has SuperPATH hip replacement been around?
The inception of this family of approaches dates back to 2002. SuperPATH is an evolutionary result of our past 18 years of clinical experience. To date, SuperPATH’s approach methodology and tooling is patented, and it is the only hip replacement technique to receive FDA (US) clearance for the technique itself.
How does SuperPATH hip replacement work?
The latest advanced technology, a percutaneously-assisted “SUPERPATH™” approach, involves sparing the surrounding muscles and tendons when performing total hip replacement surgery. This technique builds a traditional hip implant in-place without cutting any muscles or tendons.
Is SuperPATH hip surgery anterior or posterior?
This is a modification of the anterior and posterior approaches to the hip (its essentially an anterolateral hip approach deep but superficially the hip capsule is approached posterior to the gluteus medius and minimus).
Is Mako hip replacement covered by insurance?

Does Medicare cover Mako surgery?
As a knee arthroplasty procedure, Mako is typically covered by Medicare and most other insurance plans.
Is Mako minimally invasive?
Because of its minimally invasive nature, recovery and healing time is significantly faster than traditional surgical techniques.
Why do surgeons choose superpath?
The SuperPath ® technique is designed to allow your surgeon to preserve as much soft tissue as possible. After traditional hip surgery, surgeons usually impose restrictions on certain leg movements because the soft tissues in the joint are traumatized and loose, resulting in a risk of dislocation. The SuperPath ® technique avoids trauma and
What is a Super path hip replacement?

What is the best implant for hip replacement?
