Every medical implant is provided to the hospital / surgeon with a card that positively identifies what it is, who made it, and when. If your surgeon provided you with this implant card (he or she should have), it should have all the information that the MRI center needs to determine whether it's safe to scan you.

If you don't have this card, contact the surgeon / hospital that implanted the metal in your leg and see if the operative notes positively identify the implant (they should).

Share any and all information you get about the implant with the MRI staff so that they can work with you to determine if it's safe for you to have an MRI.
