Wrightington Hospital
Wrightington Hospital is an Orthopaedic Centre of Excellence and is a part of the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS foundation Trust.
Wrightington Hospital's status as a Centre of Excellence (Orthopaedic Surgery) in the treatment of musculo-skeletal disease has its origins in the seminal work of Professor Sir John Charnley, who pioneered hip replacement surgery.
The first ever Hip replacement operations in the world were performed in Wrightington Hospital in the 1960s.
