Hi Rashida,
I don't think this is true for all types of metal. Both of my knees were replaced in 2022, so there is plenty of metal in my legs. And I had both big toes fused and there are screws and metal plates in my feet. I'm pretty sure this is all titanium.
I had an MRI done two weeks ago for my lumbar spine. I was asked about all of my implants, but they didn't prevent me from getting the MRI.

You can get an mri on metal implants: hip & total knee replacements, dental implants. I had a total knee replacement and had an mri for knee safely. If you have a pacemaker, aneurysm clips, implants for hearing, brain, eyes or other metal, discuss with your doctor prior to getting an mri.
Not true, I have 2 new hips and 2 new knees and was able to get MRI on my cervical spine.
I just had an MRI and have a tkr
I had no idea and no Dr told me this. Thank you.
