Yes
The Otis knee uses a MRI pre-operatively to determine optimal placement of a standard knee implant; the Conformis knee uses a MRI to fabricate a custom implant and instruments made specifically for the patient's anatomy replacing only the diseased portion of the knee.

It is going to take a few weeks for the swelling to go down. Go see a doctor to have an x-ray and a MRI done to make sure that you did not tear anything in your knee. I also hurt my knee cap a month ago. I went to the doctor and he said it will take a few weeks for the swelling to go down. In two more weeks I have to go to physical therapy. Get well soon. Keep your leg on a pillow to rest it.
Get an x-ray or MRI. Meanwhile, if SEVERELY painful, get a brace.
Negative MRI knee
There are several websites where an individual can find out how to tend for a swollen knee. Examples would include WikiHow, WebMD, Native Remedies, and Livestrong.
A swollen knee should be treated by putting ice on it three times a day for twenty minutes at a time, soaking it in a warm bath and wrapping it in a compression bandage.
Cellulitis
Yes. An x-ray shows only bones; an MRI shows bones+tissues+muscle.
For swollen joints you need ice and maybe a lukewarm soak in a bath of epsom salt.
