Yes, you can get an MRI with metal screws in {they don’t go anywhere) and there are MRI protocols that reduce the metal artifact so you can see detail. Also, there are procedures that can be done if the Latarjet fails, but these are real salvage operations. You have to remember the Third Law of Orthopedics - the best chance at a good outcome is the first try. Revision surgeries always entail compromises. [/QUOTE]
