Your consultations

All your consultations will take place in one of our 13 private rooms. All our rooms are accessible, so there's no need to worry if you have pain when walking. During your consultations, we'll:

• Ask about your medical history
• Say whether you need blood tests, an X-ray, and/or an MRI or CT scan so they can examine your hip in more detail
• Tell you about the different types of artificial hip joints – also called prosthetics – as well as the surgical methods
• Explain about the different anaesthetic options
• Discuss the potential risks, complications and benefits, and how they may affect you
• Give you a chance to ask any questions you have about your surgery

Once you’ve decided to go ahead with hip surgery, the team will explain your recovery plan. Both your initial consultation and tests at this stage are charged separately to the cost of any treatment needed.

On the day of your procedure, our ward staff will show you to one of our 37 private rooms and get you settled in. 

You’ll meet your consultant and surgical team who’ll prepare you for your operation. If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they’re welcome to wait in your private room while you have your operation.

Anaesthetic options

Usually, you'll have the operation performed under spinal anaesthetic, which means you'll be numb from the waist down. Your anaesthetist can also give you sedation to help you relax, so you are not aware of the operation.

During your operation

Your consultant will make the necessary incisions and begin to remove worn or damaged areas of your hip joint. They’ll then fit your new hip and close your incisions. A hip replacement procedure will usually take an hour to an hour and a half. For more information about the operation, head to our main hip replacement surgery page.

Your private room

When you choose Spire Elland for your hip replacement, you’ll stay with us for around one to three days. You’ll have all the comforts and conveniences you’d expect to find in your own home, including:

• Armchair
• En-suite
• Radio
• TV
• Wardrobe
• Window

After your operation, you’ll be given medication to help manage pain. Your physiotherapy sessions will begin soon after, and your physiotherapist will provide exercises to help you get active again. Your consultant will be able to give you more information about how long your recovery is expected to take.

If you live in South or West Yorkshire, including Huddersfield, Halifax or somewhere else nearby, you can have your replacement procedure at Spire Elland Hospital.
