Has anyone had the SuperPATH hip replacement procedure?

I’m not sure if it’s the same - but I had “STAR” lateral hip replacement at HSS in NYC. I researched this a lot and the lateral approach was what elected over anterior or posterior. I am only 1 month and days out and feel truly great. My scar looks great, no pain whatsoever. I’m walking 10-12,000 steps a day. I don’t want to overdo per my pt so I’m staying around that till I go to my 6 weeks post-op.
Best of luck!
I’m in my 50’s and had a torn labrum from years ago which degenerated, in short.

sounds similiar, my wife had the anterior approach july 24th and is doing very good, still has so twitching and discomfort sometimes but working past it
I just had the STAR procedure at HSS 5 days ago and also had a torn laberum (which I ran on for 2 years) plus a lot of degeneration in my hip. it’s so great and encouraging to hear you are doing so well, and walking with no pain after a month. I’m wondering how you felt after 5 days. I also have no precautions but I have pain when the Tylenol runs out and my PT wants me to still use the cane/walker to perfect my gait. I don’t feel like I’m walking evenly yet without the cane. Maybe due to surgical swelling and maybe it takes a few more weeks? How long did it take until you felt like you were walking evenly without assistance? TIA

I walked right away and had “ no restrictions “, i basically self restricted to my comfort level. My incision a bit more than 2-3 inches but I think everyone is different. Hope this helps.
