Content
The aim of this 3-part course is to deepen the ultrasound examination of the ankle. We will discuss (sono)anatomy, transducer positions and sonopathology positions on an intermediate level with adding more in-depth information and new positions to your foundational level knowledge and skills. We will review the theory and practice ultrasound skills of several important osseous, cartilaginous, capsuloligamentous, myogenic, neurogenic, and vascular structures. We will also share with you some exciting literature which you can study after the webinar to deepen your knowledge. All content is on an intermediate level.

Certificate
After completion of the full webinar you'll receive a digital Certificate of Attendance including CME certificate.
