Objective: To summarize the research progress of Supercapsular percutaneously assisted total hip (SuperPath) in minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: The related literature on SuperPath in terms of its history, indications, contraindications, surgical technique, and curative effect was summarized and analyzed.
Results: SuperPath for minimally invasive THA is an approach that makes use of the interval between the gluteus medius and piriformis, it can eliminate the need to cut through any muscle and tendon. In comparison to conventional surgery, the SuperPath has the advantages of less soft tissue injury, quicker post-operative recovery, shorter hospitalization days, and the short-term curative effect is good. But there are also some disadvantages of narrower indications, need of special equipment and higher prosthesis malposition.
Conclusions: The SuperPath can reduce surgical trauma and the risk of postoperative dislocation and other complications, so the purpose of early rapid rehabilitation is achieved. However, the time of its clinical application is still short, so the long-term effectiveness and related complications should be further observed.
目的: 总结SuperPath微创人工全髋关节置换术的研究进展。.
方法: 广泛查阅SuperPath微创人工全髋关节置换术的相关文献，对其发展历史、适应证、禁忌证、手术方法以及疗效等进行总结分析。.
结果: SuperPath微创人工全髋关节置换术是从臀中肌与梨状肌间隙进入，不切断任何肌肉和肌腱，具有软组织损伤小、术后恢复快、住院时间短等优点，近期疗效较好。但是存在手术适应证较传统人工全髋关节置换术窄、手术依赖特殊器械、术后假体错位率较高等不足。.
结论: SuperPath微创人工全髋关节置换术在减少手术创伤的同时，显著降低了术后关节脱位等并发症的风险，达到早期快速康复目的。但该技术临床应用时间短，其中远期疗效及相关并发症有待随访观察。.
