  Background: The Supercapsular Percutaneously-Assisted Total Hip (SuperPATH) technique is a muscle-preserving approach to Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). However, whether the limited surgical exposure inherent to this technique affects acetabular component positioning remains a concern. Objective: To evaluate the effect of the SuperPATH technique on acetabular component positioning and compare the results with those obtained using the traditional Posterolateral Approach (PLA). Methods: This retrospective cohort study assessed acetabular component positioning using standardized anteroposterior digital hip radiographs from 86 randomly selected patients equally distributed between the two groups. Radiographic measurements used to calculate acetabular anteversion and inclination were independently obtained by two orthopedic surgeons, and interobserver reliability was assessed u..
