    jillhq--questions about SuperPath

    Hi @Jamie. Yes I agree SuperPath looks fabulous in theory but as the surgeon here in Sydney has only done 70 and the 3 people I saw 4 weeks post op had limps this concerned me so I have gone with the surgeon who not only does all types of replacements he is a professor who lectures as well as...

    jillhq--questions about SuperPath

    Hi @Me2 . You sound great and glad to hear that you can dance a little. The SuperPath here is a very small incision in the side of the hip and the procedure is all done with micro surgery and x-rays to see if all is fitting correctly.

    jillhq--questions about SuperPath

    Hello @Jamie and @Was_86. Thank you for comments again. I am hoping quicker than 6 weeks but that seems to be standard no matter which approach. I had posterior 7 years ago of my right hip and was back driving, teaching a few classes and felt pretty good from what I remember. This time though I...

    jillhq--questions about SuperPath

    Hello again @Was_86 and @SHERYL. Thank you so much for your replies. @Was_86 you don't seem 100% happy at day 29. I believe you will very soon as I am hearing that 1 month post op is the best.

    jillhq--questions about SuperPath

    Hi @Was_86 . Are you happy with the results of Anterior? You are very young to be having this surgery. Was it because of birth or accident? I have danced all my life and found that I had Hip Dysplasia 7 years ago so both hips deteriorated with continual movement. I run a fitness business and...

    My hip story and some questions

    Thank you badhipinak, I will look at other results ages etc. I had an amazing recovery with my previous although it was posterior and 6 weeks on my back and high chairs and toilet seat.

    My hip story and some questions

    I am fit and have kept my supportive muscles and core strong as I run a Fitness and Wellness business and teach daily. I will have only Christmas and New Year to recover, although I did want to go camping a month after my op. Does anyone think this is possible?

    jillhq--questions about SuperPath

    Thank you to those who have replied. I will look up SuperPath and see what I can find. I am seeing a 2nd doctor on Monday who does anterior and then I will make a definite decision which way to go. My previous Right Hip Replacement was done by a doctor who only does posterior and I don't want...
