MRI CONDITIONAL IMPLANT ?

I have attached my humerous bone implant x ray . Done operation in 2024 in month of March . No details provided about the implant about the manufacture type and material .

But for future mishaps may be I want to reassure whether I can do MRI with this implant . Please let me know what to do ahead

Fracture in Fibula Head

I have a fracture on the Fibula head due to fall from bike 2 weeks ago. The doctor didn't apply any cast/plaster but advised to use hinged braces. Only cycling, sitting crossed legs, stairs up down is restricted by the doctor. But I'm walking minimally(Partial weight on the fractured leg) and time of the time sitting keeping my leg straight. Pain and swelling reduced. But stiffness around the knee and pain during flexion of the knee. Should it heal without cast/plaster and how many days would it take to walk normally?

Recurring Bulge/pain in mid-foot

A heavy pan fell on my right foot about 10 months ago, not sure if this is the reason but whenever I play sports etc, a shooting pain starts from my thumb till my mid foot area and a bulge appears there. RICE method helps a little but is this a permanent solution everytime since it's recurring? Do I need to consult a doctor? If yes, which specialist? Bone or nerves?
