Course Content
Advanced Cadaveric Ultrasound Guided MSK Injections (Level 2)
Day 1 – Upper Limb: Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, and Hand
Summary:
This course focuses on advanced upper limb procedures, including joint hydrodistension, barbotage for calcific tendinopathy, nerve hydrodissection, and tendon interventions. Participants will have the opportunity to refine needle placement and probe handling while building on their existing US-guided injection skills. For a full list of procedures covered, please refer to the “Timetable” tab below.
Day 2 – Lower Limb: Hip, Pelvis, Knee, Ankle, and Foot
Summary:
Advanced lower limb training covering hip, groin, knee, ankle, and foot interventions, tendon and nerve techniques, and complex joint injections. Emphasis on nerve hydrodissection, posterior ankle injections, Achilles and patellar procedures, and pathology-specific approaches. For a full list of procedures covered please see “Timetable” tab below.
