This session will review the scanning techniques for assessing the rotator cuff and the features that can help distinguish mechanical from inflammatory pathology in the shoulder and elbow
Learning Objectives:
Review practical scanning technique of the tendinous structures of the shoulder and elbow
Develop effective techniques to evaluate rotator cuff pathology of the shoulder
Recoginize features distinguishing mechanical vs inflammatory biceps tendon pathology
Distinguish clues to help categorize mechanical vs inflammatory findings of the elbow structures
(cover tendonitis, enthesitis, calcific tendonitis, LCL tear, can demonstrate synovitis of the elbow)
Differentiate pathologic conditions leading to lateral elbow pain: Differential diagnosis of lateral
