What Is A Hip Replacement?
At Ameglio Orthopedics, hip replacement surgery is performed with care, precision, and a deep understanding of how pain can impact your daily life. Dr. Peter Ameglio and his staff are proud to provide advanced orthopedic care in Fort Myers, FL with techniques designed to improve mobility and ease discomfort from damaged or worn joints. A hip replacement is a surgical procedure that removes damaged parts of the hip joint and replaces them with artificial components. It's typically recommended for people with severe arthritis, joint deterioration, or a history of injury that limits movement and causes chronic pain. Dr. Ameglio is Southwest Florida's first and most experienced SuperPATH® surgeon. SuperPATH is a minimally invasive technique that helps protect surrounding muscles and soft tissue during total hip replacement. The result is often a faster and smoother experience with fewer complications. To learn more about hip replacement surgery using SuperPATH, schedule a consultation at Ameglio Orthopedics in Fort Myers, FL today.
What Is the Surgical Technique for A Hip Replacement?
Dr. Ameglio uses the SuperPATH hip replacement technique to provide a muscle-sparing approach to surgery. This method avoids cutting important muscles or tendons around the hip, which supports a more natural joint movement after surgery. A small incision and specialized tools allow precise implant placement while protecting healthy tissue. SuperPATH allows Dr. Ameglio to perform hip replacement surgery with less disruption to the body, often leading to shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery. During your visit, Dr. Ameglio will walk you through every part of the surgical plan, including how your artificial joint is placed and secured. He will also explain how long a hip replacement typically lasts, which is often 15 – 20 years or more, depending on age, activity level, and overall joint health.
What Are the Benefits of A Hip Replacement?

- Less muscle damage due to a tissue-sparing technique
