Get home faster after hip surgery
During SuperPath hip replacement, there is no surgical dislocation of the hip. By never surgically dislocating the hip, there is little trauma to the surrounding muscles and tendons. The implant is assembled inside the body, so the hip is never twisted into unnatural positions during surgery — a common element to many other hip procedures. With the SuperPath hip replacement, the incision is very small and no muscles are cut during the procedure, helping your hip to feel stable and just like a healthy hip after surgery.
Fewer days spent in the hospital
Go directly home after surgery
No post-operative movement restrictions
Patients treated with the SuperPath hip replacement stay in the hospital for a shorter amount of time, are discharged directly to their home more often, and are back to all the activities they love without any movement restrictions after surgery.1-3
