SUPERPATH® PORTAL-ASSISTED HIP APPROACH
When compared to national averages, patients treated with the SuperPath® hip technique have stayed in the hospital for a shorter amount of time, been discharged to their home more often, and are less likely to return within 30 days for any reason1.
The SuperPath® technique is a portal assisted THA approach that accesses the capsule superiorly through the interval between the gluteus medius and piriformis without requiring the cutting of any muscles or tendons. The femur is prepared with the head and neck intact reducing the chance of fracture. The acetabulum is prepared under direct visualization and a cannula facilitates the use of inline instrumentation. If necessary, there is an extensile option allowing surgeons to continue the technique from a familiar view without repositioning the patient.
A growing number of experienced surgeons across the world have embraced the SuperPath® approach as their preferred total hip technique to deliver faster recovery to patients. When compared to national averages, patients treated with the SuperPath® hip technique have stayed in the hospital for a shorter amount of time, been discharged directly to their home more often, and are less likely to return within 30 days for any reason - all without the typical postoperative hip restrictions associated with traditional THA techniques.1-3

VS. 4.2% Readmission rate
KEY ASPECTS
SURGEON INSIGHT
“The top benefits of the SuperPath® approach as I see them, are decreased length of stay for patients, and increased level of confidence that the patient has about how they aren't disabled. They just had a part go bad, and we fixed it, and now they can of get back to their normal life.”
