HAS ANYONE HAD THE SUPERPATH HIP REPLACEMENT PROCEEDURE

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.

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.
