Supapath Hip Replacement
A Supapath hip replacement is a surgical technique used to replace a diseased or arthritic hip joint. It is a minimally invasive approach that minimizes tissue injury compared to traditional hip replacement surgery. The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint where the femoral head (thigh bone) fits into the acetabulum (socket) of the pelvic bones.
The joint is stabilized by muscles, tendons, and ligaments that prevent dislocation. Common causes of hip problems that may require this surgery include age-related wear and tear, falls, trauma, and arthritis.
