                                    Brief Answer:
A cortisone injection is unlikely to cause any difference in MRI results.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Hope you are not in much pain.
A cortisone injection is unlikely to cause any difference in MRI results.
Tendon sheath laxity is a chronic process and in the early stages MRI might not be able to confirm a tendon sheath laxity.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Tendon subluxation or displacement can be visualised on MRI scan if the subluxation is obvious from the regular position or groove.
