i broke my arm and the x-ray shows a fracture but im not sure if it needs surgery or can it heal on its own with just a cast or natural treatments
A fractured arm can heal naturally with proper medical treatment, often with a cast or splint. However, some fractures may require surgery to realign bone fragments or stabilize the fracture. Whether your fracture needs surgery or not will depend on the type, location, and severity of the break.

I have 2 dental implants and might need 2 more soon, but my doctor also recommended an MRI scan for recurring shoulder dislocations. Will the implants or any screws and plates from past ortho surgeries cause issues during the MRI because of the strong magnetic fields? I'm a bit worried about how safe it is.
Generally, dental implants and most orthopedic hardware are considered safe for MRI scans. Modern dental implants, typically made of titanium or zirconia, are not ferromagnetic and won't interfere with the MRI's magnetic field. Similarly, many orthopedic implants like screws and plates, especially those made of titanium, are also MRI-safe. However, it's crucial to inform your radiologist or doctor about all implants and hardware you have before the MRI, as some older or specific types of metal might cause issues.
