- Dr. James (Jimmy) Chow, M.D. talks about the benefits of the SuperPATH hip replacement technique and how many patients with hip pain are satisfied after the procedure that is done in an outpatient setting at Phoenix Spine & Joint.

SUPERPATH is a micro-invasive surgical approach for total hip replacement. The word itself is an acronym, which stands for SUPERior Portal Assisted Total Hip. The SuperPATH approach was adopted by orthopedic surgeons who wanted a less invasive option for their patients with a faster recovery. The incision for the SuperPATH approach is carefully selected to minimize soft tissue injury during the hip replacement procedure. The smaller incision and soft tissue sparing lead to a quicker, less painful recovery. The SuperPATH approach has been adopted by some orthopedic surgeons around the world as the best approach for hip replacement.

Dr. Jimmy Chow is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement who began using the SuperPATH hip replacement approach in his practice 12 years ago. Dr. Chow has replaced over 1,000 hips using the SuperPATH hip replacement protocol. The SuperPATH hip replacement reviews provided by his patients have been so positive that Dr. Chow has made the SuperPATH approach a substantial part of his career.

Like anterior hip replacement and the direct superior approach, SuperPATH does not damage the soft tissue such as muscle, tendons, or fascia. The site of the incision is selected based on a patient’s anatomy to allow direct access, and special tools are used to ensure the perfect orientation of the implants. As a result, Recovery from SuperPATH hip replacement surgery is much faster and better than the legacy posterior hip replacement surgery. Studies have shown eighty percent of patients rate their pain less than 4/10 without narcotics after SuperPATH hip replacement surgery.
