Muscle & Tendon Injuries: A Clinical Perspective with Carles Pedret

The challenge for any clinician is to put everything together, in a (multidisciplinary) clinical setting, to translate all relevant information into decisions around managing the specific injury in this specific individual, at every stage, from diagnosis to recovery.

Carles will be sharing his experience and latest insight. It will enhance your diagnostic confidence, decision making in injury management and highlight the clinical challenges.

Exploring Clinical Cases
The power of Case Studies – stories told, lessons learned, and opinions shared.
Carles will be joined by leading voices from rugby, football, and athletics for an engaging discussion on how the same injury can demand very different decisions across sports. Hear first-hand experiences, practical insights, and expert perspectives on management, recovery, and risk.

What works, when it works best, and what to look out for. How would you have managed the case? What can you learn from it?

Live Case discussion:
Share your experience (it can be an ongoing ‘open’ case you’d like to discuss or an interesting ‘closed’ case).
Just email robert@ultrasoundtraining.co.uk to let us know that you would like to present/discuss a case.

Practical US workshop
Confidently scan the muscles and tendon complex. Practise and advance your scanning skills in small groups, supervised by the Faculty, using the latest US systems.

This complimentary workshop has limited places, so please sign up to reserve your place.
