A member asked:
Can't have mri due to screws in my knee but knee keeps locking random swelling laterally and pain lateral side(post op knee)+bilateral muscle spasms ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the screws were: placed in the last 15 years they should be MR safe. Their presence may cause artifact that degrades the image, but depending on what your doc is looking for, an MR might still provide useful diagnostic information.
