whereas i worked in an orthopeadic theatre for the best part of 3 years.

well, I didn't know you did that,
I'm just going on what a surgeon said to us at the time, and the fact the friend backed this up trough his own op.

ah. there is this small, but quite relevant point :)

/goes to read

/seems a little odd that a surgeon would say this, and a friend would - quite seriously - agree they did the same with him though

to be fair
it depends on the kind of implant they use. and if your friend/family were obese or not. sometimes they do move it a little to get the fat out of the way. but its not an SOP by anymeans.

ahhh, fair enough then, that's probably the reason :)
they weren't exactly obese, but they were 'big' people.
