Musculoskeletal Ultrasound for The Upper Extremity is a 2 day, 95% hands-on-training course. In this course, you will master the 5 Ps system of diagnostic US assessment to confidently identify normal anatomy to facilitate clinical decision making. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is focused on utilizing a transducer of a MSK ultrasound handheld unit to obtain images around the Shoulder joint (biceps, AC joint, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis, rotator cuff interval); Elbow joint (anterior elbow "pyramid" anterior fat pad, lateral epicondyle, distal biceps (lateral and distal approach), medial epicondyle, ulnar nerve, posterior elbow, triceps tendon; hand/wrist (carpal tunnel, median nerve, ulnar nerve, Dequervains tendons, 1st CMC joint, basal joint/thumb ulnar collateral ligament, dorsal metacarpophalangeal joint, triangular fibrocartilage complex, annular pulley). These images will be demonstrated and obtained in both long axis and short axis. At the conclusion of the course you will be able to accurately label, interpret and provide visual feedback to your patients and referral sources demonstrating the anatomical condition of the soft tissue structures.
