About this course
Why should you follow this online course
Scanning the distal biceps insertion can be tricky due to its small size, deep location, and oblique course. The anatomy can also vary between individuals, making it challenging to identify the insertion site accurately. Additionally, the surrounding structures such as the radial tuberosity, brachialis muscle, and bicipital aponeurosis can create artifacts or obscure visualization. Therefore, a combination of dynamic ultrasound and MRI or CT is currently mostly performed for accurate assessment.
We believe that with the SonoSkills 8-Step Distal Biceps Tendon Ultrasound Protocol you can diagnose most distal biceps tendon pathologies, without having to make use of other medical imaging techniques.
Certificate
After completion you'll receive a digital SonoSkills Certificate of Attendance and proof of your CME points.
