When I broke my ankle, I had to wait 7 months for an MRI. I am under the impression private MRIs are between $600 and 800, and have between a day and a week wait period. Well worth the money frankly. 3-7 months could make the difference between physiotherapy or a light surgery and reconstruction, especially if its something like a recurring leg injury (hip, knee, ankle) where even walking does more damage. I was very lucky that when I finally got in, the fractured cartilage had properly healed on its own with physiotherapy.
