This two-day course aims to learn how to differentiate normal and abnormal musculoskeletal ultrasound findings of upper extremity joints. Based on the clinical case approach, we will discuss how to recognize the main features of pathological changes in musculoskeletal structures. Participants will be able to understand the benefits, limitations, and clinical reasoning of the MSK ultrasound examination.
