The SUPERCAP™ Technique is a tissue-preserving Total Hip Arthroplasty Technique that was designed by Dr. Stephen Murphy who operates from the Center for Computer Assisted and Reconstructive Surgery at New England Baptist Hospital.
The SUPERCAP™ approach utilizes a superior capsulotomy technique that allows for implantation of the total hip components under direct vision through a single incision. This approach preserves the posterior hip joint capsule and short external rotators. The most interesting fact related to this approach is that when the technique is performed as designed, the femur is NEVER surgically dislocated during the procedure.

I’m stunned by how well this minimally-invasive hip replacement surgery was. I’m now able to be pain free which is phenomenal because the pain had been unbearable.

Cynthia recalls, “the nurse caught me crying as I walked, and she assumed I was in pain. But, I was crying because I was just so happy. It was the first time I had been able to walk in such a long time!”

“I’m now going to outpatient physical therapy, and I’m moving much better than before the surgery, and in so much less pain.”
|

“I was concerned that my hip would feel fake,” Bob admits. “But it feels ten times better than I expected. I have no restrictions!”
