MRI's for knee and hip surgery

I have had THR and both TKR and never have had a MRI either. I did think it was odd also because when I first started injuring my knees I had several MRIs in 1990s and early 2000s. I had 4 prior knee surgeries before the replacement s & one hip surgery prior. I definitely needed them! All good. Pain so much better but not the 30 yr old you use to be!😀

Yes, I had MRI's on my knees when injured - but they were looking at meniscus, ligaments and muscles, not bones. Once the x-ray says the bone is the culprit, no other imaging is usually done - saving us both money & exposure!
