DEFINITION<\/b> AND<\/b> APPLICATIONS
\n<\/b>Hip arthroplasty is considered as one of the most successfulorthopaedic interventions, by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). After all, the significant progress achieved over the past 50 years, both in the surgical techniques and in the technology used, has vastly increased the success rates. The AAOS data for its member countries show that total hip replacements increased by 35% over the 2000-2013 period, and over 300,000 interventions are performed in the United States each year.<\/p>\n

WHEN IS IT APPLIED?
\n<\/b>Not all patients with hip pain are suitable candidates for arthroplasty, namely, the replacement of the worn joint with an artificial one,which will mimicits physical movement. The orthopaedic surgeon shall examine all parameters before proposing the surgical option – age, activity level, history, chronic diseases, are just a few of the factors which are taken into account.
\nIn patients who are over 50 and suffer from osteoarthritis, it is very likely that the arthroplasty option shall be adopted, especially if pain and stiffness persist to a point where they affect their quality of life and restrict their daily activities. It is also suggested for people who use walking aids and wish to improve their daily routine, or those who suffer from persisting pain during rest and sleep, as medication does not offer relief from symptoms.<\/p>\n

SURGICALPROCEDURE
\n<\/strong>Over the past five years, the posterior minimally invasive hip access route (SuperPath\u2122) has been applied worldwide. It is a technique that allows the surgeon to perform a total arthroplasty without cutting or injuring the muscle. In the literature, it is also referred to as micro-arthroplasty, because of the small incision (6-7 cm), but mainly due to the protection of the soft tissues surrounding the joint. Younger patients are considered as the most suitable candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHICH ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE SUPERPATH?<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No need for surgical dislocation during the procedure. Thus, elimination of the possibility of hip dislocation after the surgery; a disastreous complication of the conventional Total Hip Arthroplasty in general.<\/li>\n
  2. No need to cut any tendon around the hip joint.<\/li>\n
  3. Minimal blood loss during the procedure. This way most of the timers there is no need for blood transfusion after the procedure. The patient\u2019s heart also is not affected, due to the minimal blood loss; a really important feature of the SuperPath especially for the patients with heart diseases.<\/li>\n
  4. Immediate partial weight bearing with little or no pain at all. Plain painkillers (f.ex. depon) are used.<\/li>\n
  5. No need for postsurgery restrictions (pillow between the knees, no bending above 90 degrees etc.), which are usual with the other conventional procedures.<\/li>\n
  6. Physiotherapy is not always mandatory, because the patient regains full mobility immediately after surgery. For the same reason Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is practically omitted.<\/li>\n
  7. Crutches are prescribed only as a precaution for 2 weeks or so, eventhough most of the SuperPath patients wish to walk with no crutches from the 2nd<\/sup> -3rd<\/sup> postoperative day.<\/li>\n
  8. Postoperative pain is minimum and can be managed with simple painkillers (f.ex. depon). Recovery and return to healthy activity and work is minimum and less for sure than traditional procedures and is approximately calculated to 10-15 days<\/li>\n
  9. Sports activity (walking, running, hiking, bicycle etc.) is allowed after the SuperPath<\/b> Arthroplasty.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    WHAT<\/b> TO<\/b> EXPECT<\/b> AFTER<\/b> SURGERY
    \n<\/b>Its main advantage is that the chances of a dislocation, namely, of the most serious complication, are reduced. Moreover, there is no need for postoperative constraints and precautions in movements (pelvic lifter, hip abduction pillow). Given the lack of injuries during surgery, postoperative pain is reduced and recovery takes place sooner.<\/p>\n
