MicroPort Orthopedics is at the forefront of surgical techniques for total hip replacement designed to minimize tissue damage and streamline recovery. Tissue sparing surgical hip approaches like SuperPath®, complemented by a full range of hip replacement implants and instrumentation, can help patients achieve Full Function, Faster.1
SuperPath® is a portal assisted total hip 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.
A growing number of experienced surgeons across the world have embraced SuperPath® as their preferred total hip technique to deliver faster recovery to patients – all without the typical postoperative hip restrictions associated with traditional THA techniques.2
The SuperPath® Direct Superior Portal Assisted Hip Approach is a tissue-sparing approach where no muscles or tendons are cut.
