Getting here

The hospital is on Methley Lane on the A639, a mile and a half from junction 30 of the M62. We’re well served by rail, with Castleford train station just 3 miles away and Leeds station just 10 miles away. Free on-site parking is available for you and your visitors.

Your consultations

Before your treatment, you’ll meet your consultant in one of our 10 consultation rooms. All of our rooms are accessible, so there’s no need to worry if walking is difficult for you. They’ll ask about your health, symptoms and answer any questions you may have.

If you haven’t been diagnosed yet, they may recommend our diagnostic tests and scans to help them assess your hip in more detail.

If you decide to go ahead with treatment, your consultant will advise you about:

• What your personalised treatment and care plan will involve
• The cost of your treatment
• Different types of prosthetic joints available
• Anaesthetic options
• Potential risks and complications
• Things you can do to help your recovery

On the day of your procedure, our ward staff will show you to your room and get you settled in. If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they’re welcome to wait in your room while you have your operation.

Your consultant and surgical team will prepare you for your operation.

Anaesthetic options

When you’ve had time to settle into your private room, your anaesthetist will administer a general anaesthetic, where you’re completely asleep, or an epidural (spinal anaesthetic) where you’ll be numb from the waist down. If you’re having an epidural, you can also have sedatives to help you relax.

During your operation

Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, your surgeon will make one or more incisions in your hip, remove both the socket and the top of your thigh bone and replace them with a new artificial hip joint. A hip replacement surgery usually takes an hour to an hour and a half.

After your operation, you’ll start your recovery in your private room, where you’ll have many of the conveniences you’d expect at home. Your room will include:

• En-suite
• TV
• WiFi

Nurses will be on-hand, and your physiotherapist will help get you walking again as soon as you feel ready.
