- 45 year-old Steve of Memphis has led an active lifestyle for much of his life. Playing sports, such as tennis and golf, have kept Steve in shape and mobile. However, little did he know that a single pain in his left hip would force him to give up the sports he loved and lead to joint replacement surgery.

Six years ago Dr. William Kirk did a hip replacement on my left hip and it was amazing. I walked that day and in 4 weeks I was as good as new. I live in Southern Illinois about 300 miles from Nashville and my trip home was good!! Oct. 28 2021 I fell and broke my right hip and my husband wanted to take me to Dr. Kirk but I was in so much pain and said I would never make it down there so I went to one of our hospital in our area and boy was that a mistake!!The doctor that did my surgery was from Nashville and knew Dr. Kirk but is did not do the superpath he did the arterial approach. and he said he did it differently but the results were the same!! Sorry to say its not been the same! When I woke up my leg was numb from my knee up and a year later it's still numb! Also he left my right leg shorter then my left so that's been a problem in my walking! If I could have it done over with Dr. Kirks I would go in a minute but I don't think my insurance would pay for it!!! So I'm stuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just had the SuperPath done in January. No pain at all! Had a traditional knee replacement and it took forever to heal. This hip replacement was the best!
Steve, WoW !! I had the “Superpath Total Hip Replacement” surgery as well. My experience [although good] was completely different than yours. First, I was not able to walk without my walker until 15 days later. Pain medication is still mandatory even though I’m just over 16 days post-op. I’ve been told everyone’s different.
Wow! I put my surgery off for 3 years because I was terrified and didnt wanna be down that long. I'm getting the surgery now. Thanks
I went to Dr Brett himmellwright in PA. He told me there is nothing special about superpath,that there isn't any advantages in recovery. Btw ,Dr himmellwright brought the superpath technique to PA,so go figure?
