Why was the MRI done: MRI is much more sensitive for detecting new fractures compared to standard x-rays. This is why we hardly ever get an MRI if x-rays show a fracture. Why dod you get an MRI? was this an old fracture? Is you hip fractured clinically? (pain, shortening, loss of range of motion, etc.)
