Event Details

Program Overview

The Musculoskeletal Ultrasound + Interventional Orthopedics for the Knee: A Cadaveric Hands-On Injection Workshop is an advanced training course designed for healthcare professionals seeking to refine their skills in ultrasound-guided knee procedures and regenerative medicine applications. This immersive program combines didactic instruction, live demonstrations, and hands-on cadaveric training to provide a comprehensive understanding of knee pathology assessment, diagnostic ultrasound techniques, and precise injection approaches.

Participants will gain practical experience in performing ultrasound-guided intra-articular and periarticular knee injections, including regenerative therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and cellular-based treatments. The course features small-group, expert-led instruction to ensure individualized feedback and skill development.

This workshop is ideal for physicians, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals looking to enhance procedural accuracy, improve patient outcomes, and integrate advanced ultrasound-guided techniques into their practice.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Master Knee Ultrasound Techniques

Identify and interpret the key anatomical landmarks of the knee using musculoskeletal ultrasound.
Recognize pathologies relevant to knee musculoskeletal conditions and regenerative interventions.

Enhance Injection Precision

Demonstrate proficiency in ultrasound-guided injection techniques specifically for knee-related procedures.
Execute cadaveric knee injections with improved accuracy and safety, enhancing patient outcomes.

Understand Regenerative Therapies

Evaluate the evidence supporting regenerative medicine approaches for knee conditions.
Apply knowledge of regenerative modalities to optimize treatment for knee injuries and degenerative conditions.

Integrate Clinical and Imaging Skills

Integrate clinical examination findings with ultrasound imaging to develop comprehensive treatment plans.
Distinguish between common knee pathologies and assess the appropriate use of regenerative treatments.

Promote Safe and Effective Practice

Adhere to best practices in sterile technique, cadaver handling, and ultrasound-guided procedures.
Ensure patient safety by understanding contraindications, risks, and post-procedural care for knee injections.
