Why should you follow this online course?
Morton's neuroma is a painful condition and caused by a thickening of the tissue around the common digital plantar nerve. The incidence of Morton's neuroma is estimated to be around 3-10% in the general population. MSK ultrasound can provide valuable information about the size and location of the neuroma, which can guide treatment decisions. Clinical examination alone can be unreliable, and MSK ultrasound can improve diagnostic accuracy. Learning advanced MSK ultrasound skills can enhance a practitioner's diagnostic and treatment capabilities, leading to better patient outcomes and increased satisfaction in their professional practice.
This SonoClass aims to know in detail the cause of pain or dysfunction in the intermetatarsocapital area. Is the pathology of neurologic origin or as a result of arthritic, traumatic, neoplastic, infectious, or vascular conditions? Robert will also address the dynamic evaluation of peripheral nerves, which is a fantastic tool to recognize nerve pathology.

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