Hello doctor!
Some time ago I had to replace my right knee joint due to a traffic accident. The doctor asked me if I can still have an MRI of the shoulder joint after the knee replacement? Looking forward to consulting your doctor help me. Thank you.

Hello!
You have a knee implant, when you need to have an MRI of your shoulder joint, you should go to a hospital with expertise so that they can evaluate your knee specifically for example: How long is the implantation time? What is the type of implant material?
Thus, when you go, you should bring a discharge paper, it is best to contact the doctor who directly operated on you to ask about the type of material used, if you can give the specific name of that material at that time. We will advise you if it is possible to take a shoulder joint.
Thank you for trusting Vinmec Health System, looking forward to meeting you in person for more detailed advice. Best regards!
