Hip Replacement | SuperPATH Technique

A new Hip Replacement technique called SuperPATH, has been introduced in Australia by Dr Sol Qurashi in 2013 http://www.harbourcityorthopaedics.co... http://www.superpathhips.com.au SuperPATHis a revolutionary development in hip replacement surgery that allows us to perform hip replacements in a manner that encourages quicker recovery and precludes hip precautions that are associated with some other hip replacement techniques. This is because of the unparalleled preservation of the hip capsule and minimal muscle sacrifice. SuperPATH utilises an incision typically about 3 inches long and simply retracts the main muscles out of the way. Both the anterior capsule at the front and posterior capsule at the back of the hip joint, along with the short external rotators are maximally preserved. The hip is replaced without surgically dislocating the joint. This allows us to “build” the hip replacement ‘in situ’ with minimal disturbance to the soft tissue envelope. It’s like building a ship in a bottle without disrupting the bottle. The heavy emphasis of this technique’s philosophy on ‘preservation’ in our opinion has two major benefits: 1. Early mobilisation, with patients often walking within a few hours of the surgery and, more importantly, 2. No Hip Precautions. At the end of the day, no one technique is better than the other. If you are having a hip replacement, you should have it done by the technique that your surgeon is most comfortable and familiar with because that is the safest option for you. Whilst results can vary from patient to patient and can be influenced by a multitude of factors, a hip replacement done well is likely to have a good result irrespective of technique.
