MRI after a Hip Resurfacing?
Can I have an MRI after I had a hip resurfacing? This is a question
many people ask after having a hip resurfacing. This is Dr. Rubinstein's answer:
MRI is perfectly safe with any orthopaedic implant (joint replacements, fracture
hardware screws and others). The implants may degrade the picture quality in the
areas right near the implants but no harm will come to the
implants or the surrounding bone.
Pacemakers are another story and are not safe with MRI. Other things
that can be problematic are metal filings in the eye and vascular
clips placed within 6 months.
