Background: The supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach is a muscle sparing surgical technique for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The literature reports good clinical and functional results of the SuperPATH technique in the short term. We aimed to compare early outcomes and gait analysis of THA using the mini posterior approach (MPA) and supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach.

- The study analyzed 76 patients with periprosthetic femoral fractures after total hip replacement, focusing on trends from 2006-2016.
- Findings revealed that elderly women are more likely to experience these fractures, often due to traumatic events, and that they require more complex surgical interventions for treatment.
- To reduce the incidence of these fractures, the study suggests improved preoperative diagnostics and tailored educational programs for healthcare professionals.
