This course includes approximately five hours of clinical scanning. Under the supervision of experienced faculty, participants will have the opportunity for hands-on experience performing infant hip and spine studies in our orthopedic clinic. Other musculoskeletal applications, including the infant spine, will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate adequate skills in performing a complete dynamic hip ultrasound and neonatal spine ultrasound.
- Distinguish normal hips from abnormal hips on dynamic hip ultrasound.
- Describe both clinical and imaging guidelines for hip dysplasia screening.
