About

Mr Colin Holton is an orthopaedic surgeon based at:

  • Spire Leeds Hospital
  • Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital
  • Joint Motion Healthcare

He specialises in adult hip surgery, and adolescent and young hip surgery. He is highly experienced, having been a consultant for over five years, performing hip replacements, hip arthroscopy, femoral and pelvic osteotomies to gain the best functional outcome for his patients. He also treats paediatric orthopaedic conditions including elective and trauma cases.

He performs thorough evaluations and offers his patients the best treatments, including paediatric patients who may have conditions from birth that require ongoing treatment. These conditions include hip dysplasia, Perthes disease, SCFE (slipped capital femoral epiphysis), FAI (Femoro-acetabular impingement), AVN (avascular necrosis) and hip osteoarthritis . Surgical management of these conditions can include hip arthoscopy (key hole surgery), hip osteotomies (bone realignment surgery), and hip replacements.

Mr Holton completed his medical training in 2002 at the University of Leeds Medical School before undertaking basic surgical training and joining the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh) in 2005. He went on to complete further specialist orthopaedic training and became a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh) in 2012. He has undertaken extensive training in his field, including a specialist international hip fellowship in Denmark, which allowed him to gain further exposure to hip replacement and hip arthroscopy, and he gained expertise in minimally invasive PAO (peri-acetabular osteotomy) under the world-renowned PAO surgeon, Prof. Kjeld Soballe. Prior to his Danish fellowship, he also undertook a nationally recognised fellowship under Mr Jon Conroy in Harrogate, UK, which focused on hip arthroscopy and total hip replacement

In addition to his practice, Mr Holton is active in the field of research, with a strong research background founded on his MSc (Mechanical Engineering), where he investigated the use of bone graft in total hip replacement in 2012. He also supervises an NIHR-approved research fellow whilst being the principal investigator on three NIHR-approved national studies.

Explanation

I knew from my first meeting with Mr Colin Holton that I had finally, after over 2 years, found the right man to help me. He is very approachable, an excellent listener & always answered my (many!) questions in detail. He explained clearly what my options were & what would happen at each stage. I had left & right total hip replacements in June 2022 & January 2023 respectively. Mr Holton & his team were excellent throughout. Each stage was clearly explained in a friendly, reassuring manner & always with a smile to help put you at ease. I now have an excellent range of movement & I can walk normally again with no pain. I am able to climb hills, cycle, swim & generally live my life again! I had struggled to walk 200 metres prior to my surgery & as a hillwalker this was devastating for me. To say that Colin Holton has given me my life back would be an understatement. There are not the words to say how grateful I am to have had such an excellent surgeon who is also a very kind man who instils confidence in his patients. I cannot thank him enough. His secretary Andrea deserves a mention too, she is very efficient with a kind & helpful manner.

Dr Holton is the most caring, sensitive committed and passionate professional I have ever met in the NHS. I can’t thank him enough for the thought and care he put into my treatment plan. I feel extremely luckily to have benefited from his expertise in the field of young hip replacement and my life has been totally changed for the better since he operated on me. I no longer live with pain and am physically strong. I can’t thank him enough for such a wonderful experience at what was such a challenging time.

Mr Holton was nothing but professionalism, politeness and assurance personified. He kept me informed every step of the way through both my THR surgeries in June 2023 and September 2023. I would recommend him all day long. Mr Holton has a gentle manner and a warm smile which instills confidence into the patient. He is very proficient and skilled at what he does. He was happy to answer all my questons thoroughly and patiently. (And I had a few!) Thank you for helping me to walk again!

Explanation

Dr Holton conducted a total hip replacement of my left hip. From the initial consultation Dr Holton was excellent, he is approachable and friendly, he explained my condition in detail, showing me X-rays and discussing my options. Post operation, Dr Holton took time out to visit me and assure me the operation had gone as expected, I found this rather comforting. I am due to have a total hip replacement of the right hip and would not hesitate to proceed if Dr Holton was conducting this procedure. I would highly recommend Dr Holton, in my opinion he is excellent and an expert in Orthopaedic Surgery.
