Very, very scared to have knee surgery and hip surgery

I live with seniors, lots of them. Amongst us we have had at least 30 hip replacements and revisions, and only one had an MRI, but her femur was shattered in an accident prior to surgery.
So I would say the standard of car does not include an MRI. The problems with my hips were very clear on x-rays.

OK, that helps to clear my mind, thanks. Evidently the pictures were clear. He told me that I had cysts(?) which needed to be filled with bone cadaver. Sounds gross but I will go through with it. So I guess he knows what he's looking at, and since I respect him as a person and surgeon I will try to figure this about about the MRI. I think I would have felt more comfortable with him taking an MRI, but the operation hasn't been scheduled yet. Thanks for answer. (I can take a small breath of relief...) 🙂
