Ferdinand had minimal discomfort following surgery and was off of pain meds before he left the hospital.
SuperPATH isn’t easier to perform for the surgeon, but the benefits to the patients are significant including:
- NO Surgical Hip Dislocation
- NO Post-Op Hip Precautions
- NO Muscles or Tendons Cut
…all leading to a FASTER RECOVERY!
Dr. Ameglio is the 1st and most experienced SuperPATH surgeon in SW Florida and is amongst only 6 trained surgeons in the State of Florida.
