WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

  • Discovering the topographic anatomy of the ventral knee: discussing origins, insertions and the physical relationships between tissues.
  • Understanding the biomechanics of several interconnected structures.
  • Learning some common pathologies, injuries and pathophysiologic mechanisms in this region.
  • Understanding the sonoanatomical appearance of this whole ventral knee and passing structures.
  • Learning how to scan the most clinical relevant ventral knee tissues correctly by using the SonoSkills Quality Checklist and with thus creating great images.
  • Learning how to analyze s ventral knee pathology images in a structured and step-by-step approach by using the SonoSkills pathology checklist.
  • Seeing a variety of pathology cases in this ventral knee i.e. Quadriceps problems, several kinds of bursitis, plica syndrome, jumpers knee, intra articular problems, etc.
  • Learning how to perform the most common ultrasound-guided injection techniques to target the ventral knee.

Why should you follow this online course?
MSK ultrasound of the ventral knee, including the quadriceps and patellar tendons, and the various bursae, is highly valuable in the evaluation of patients with knee pain. Ventral knee pain is a common complaint among patients, and jumper's knee is a common sports injury. MSK ultrasound can provide a dynamic evaluation of these structures, as well as guide diagnostic and therapeutic injections. Ultrasound-guided injections are preferred over landmark-based injections due to their increased accuracy and safety. Advanced MSK ultrasound skills can enhance a healthcare professional's diagnostic accuracy and treatment options, ultimately improving patient outcomes, business, and job satisfaction.

Certificate
After completion you'll receive a digital SonoSkills Certificate of Attendance and proof of your CME points.
