There are many different types of scan that you can have: MRI, CAT, etc,
Certainly it is possible to have a CAT scan, and many hip joints are fine in an MRI scanner (though you may wish to check which one you have).
Yes, you can have a PET scan if you have a hip replacement. The metal components used in hip replacements do not interfere with the PET scan process, as the scan primarily detects metabolic activity using a radioactive tracer. However, it's important to inform your healthcare provider about your hip replacement and any other implants, as they may need to consider these factors when interpreting the results.
A CT scan, yes. An MRI scan- maybe. It will depend on information from the manufacturer of the device you have implanted. Most are not affected by an MRI, but that is up to medical staff to determine.

Hip resurfacing or total hip replacement
Hip Replacement or hip arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to treat the damaged portion of the hip. A person who performs this procedure by making certain incisions to remove the damaged part of the hip and replacing them with prosthetic implants is a Hip Replacement surgeon.
If you need a hip replacement, then age is not an issue.

Hip replacements can be both. But a revision is simply when they have to re-operate, or revise an exisiting hip replacement, often by putting a new one in.
A replacement hip should not be squeaking. Contact your surgeon regarding this. There may be a recall on the replacement hip, or there may be a more simple solution. Do not assume that this is normal.
Hip arthroplasty is a hip replacement. Arthropathy is any joint disease.
Both bipolar hip replacement and total hip replacement (THR) are surgical procedures designed to address hip joint issues, but they differ in purpose, design, and scope. Bipolar Hip Replacement: A type of partial hip replacement where the femoral head is replaced with a two-piece prosthetic system. The acetabulum (hip socket) is left intact. It is mainly used for conditions like fractures of the femoral neck. Total Hip Replacement (THR): A complete replacement of both the femoral head and the acetabulum with artificial prosthetics. It is used for advanced arthritis, avascular necrosis, or other chronic conditions causing joint damage.
