Supercap approach in hip replacement after femoral neck fractures

The supercap approach proved safe, without intraoperative complications and the learnig curve was short. The differences in terms of morbidity after surgery compared with the posterolateral approach in use at our institution. There were no mechanical complications in the operative and in follow up. In conclusion, the supercap approach can be easily used also in traumatology, with the advantage of preserving tissue, external rotators and the posterior capsule : thus reducing the risk of dislocation related to the access.
