Use of the supercapsular percutaneously assisted total hip approach for femoral neck fractures: surgical technique and case series

BACKGROUND Femoral neck fractures are common injuries in the geriatric population associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Studies have shown outcomes can be positively influenced by early postoperative mobilization. The supercapsular percutaneously assisted total hip (SuperPath) surgical technique has been shown to lead to early mobilization for osteoarthritic total hip replacement ...
