Depends on the type of mental the screw is made of, some metals are MRI safe whilst older ones are not. Details of this will be in your medical records (the operation report) at the hospital where you had the screw put in your knee. Some people are given a piece of paper to carry after an operation where metal is placed in them detailing exactly what was used if you have one of these show it to the doctor treating your knee.
