Thanks. he also said no muscles are cut - just prying the muscles apart with the Superpath Method. He said recovery is less painful & faster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffBadass Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 This is from my post back in July and demonstrates anterior approach (front). https://www.pbs.org/video/latest-procedure-latest-procedure-anterior-total-hip-replacement-surgery/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffBadass Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I'm not a doctor (but I can pretend I am one in a chat room!) and had not heard of the Super-Path. I found this video. I appears the Super-Path has similar characteristics to the anterior approach, without the need to dislocate the hip (and need a $150K operating table). It appears to not cut muscles, tendons, etc, and would have the same good recovery time. All the best with your surgery!

BiffBadass Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Oh, forgot, the superpath uses a lateral incision.... But is totally different from the old lateral approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what my Doc is reccomending This sounds really good too. I had mine done 20 years ago, the tech has prob improved since then. As long as no muscles are cut I think you are good!!!
