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...
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. I have heard there is some failure with this and that is the...
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...
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. I don't know if I feel better or more scared about my choice to cancel SuperPath. I had booked in for...
Thank you @MissMoo and @Was_86. Would love to hear more of your Anterior Approach @Was_86. Do you dance? Can you dance again yet? I am in pain today and am looking forawrd to getting the new hip but wonder what it is like with both hips replaced. Can you get up and down ok from standing to floor...
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...
Hi @Was_86
Thank you but I have booked the Anterior Approach with a surgeon who has done 100's of them with great success and brilliant recovery also. I do like to idea of SuperPath but the doctor here has only done 70 and there seem to be a few issues with limping post op. I watched both ops...
Hello @MissMoo
I saw Prof. Bill Walter today and decided to go with him. I am booked in for 25th November at the Mater. I have also heard that Michael Soloman is very good to. Is this your first hip surgery? I would be happy to hear how you go. All the best.
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. I don't want that now but reading anterior or SmartPath I believe it will be even better recovery this time. I...
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?
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...
Hello. I just booked into SuperPath surgery in Sydney, Australia scheduled for 27th November with Dr Sol Qurashi. I am scared and nervous as I was with my THR on my right hip 7 years ago. This was successful although posterior and longer recovery than what SuperPath suggest. Please tell me...
