A growing number of experienced surgeons across the world have embraced SuperPath 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
