MSK US + Regenerative Medicine for the Hand, Wrist & Elbow: A Cadaveric Hands-On Injection Workshop

This comprehensive workshop is designed to provide healthcare professionals with advanced skills in musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK US) and regenerative medicine techniques for the hand, wrist and elbow. Through a combination of didactic sessions, live demonstrations and hands-on practice using cadaveric specimens, participants will gain a thorough understanding of the anatomy, pathology and treatment options for common musculoskeletal conditions affecting these regions.

• Understand the basic principles and techniques of musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging
• Identify the anatomy of the hand, wrist, and elbow on ultrasound imaging
• Develop proficiency in ultrasound-guided injection techniques for common hand, wrist, and elbow conditions
• Gain knowledge of regenerative medicine options for musculoskeletal disorders including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy
• Learn the indications, contraindications and potential complications of regenerative medicine procedures
• Discuss the evidence-based literature supporting the use of regenerative medicine in treating hand, wrist, and elbow conditions
• Enhance skills in patient assessment, including history-taking and physical examination specific to hand, wrist, and elbow complaints
• Demonstrate competence in performing ultrasound-guided injections on cadaveric specimens under the guidance of experienced instructors
• Acquire practical experience in interpreting ultrasound images and correlating findings with clinical presentations
• Collaborate with peers and instructors to discuss challenging cases and problem-solving strategies related to MSK ultrasound and regenerative medicine interventions for the hand, wrist, and elbow
