Shoulder Joint Ultrasound Course MEDIFLICK
- 1. Introduction to MSK Ultraso und of the Shoulder Joint Musculoskeletal ultrasound offers detailed, real-time imaging of soft tissues. This presentation focuses on the shoulder joint, a common source of adult pain affecting 18-26% of people. Ultrasound is a cost-effective tool for detecting shoulder pathologies. FG
- 2. Benefits of MSK Ultrasound Real-Time Dynamic Imaging Visualizes movement and function during the scan, improving assessment. Radiation-Free No ionizing radiation unlike X-ray or CT, enhancing patient safety. High Resolution Soft Tissue View Clearly shows tendons, ligaments, muscles, and inflammation. Cost-Effective Guidance Guides injections and aspirations at a fraction of MRI costs (~$250 vs $1200).
- 3. Shoulder Anatomy for Ultrasound Rotator Cuff Tendons • Supraspinatus • Infraspinatus • Teres Minor • Subscapularis Other Structures • Biceps tendon • Labrum • Glenohumeral joint • Bony landmarks: humerus, scapula, clavicle
- 4. Ultrasound Scanning Techniques Patient Positioning Optimal poses for clear visualization of shoulder structures. Transducer Selection & Planes Standard transverse and longitudinal scanning planes used. Dynamic Maneuvers Internal/external rotation and abduction/adduction enhance detection. Doppler & Injection Guidance Assess vascularity and guide precise injections or aspirations.
- 5. Common Shoulder Pathologies Rotator Cuff Tears Increasingly common with age; up to 50% in those over 60 years. Tendinopathy & Bursitis Frequent causes of pain involving tendon degeneration and bursal inflammation. Biceps Tendon Issues Tendinitis, subluxation, and tears affecting shoulder stability. Joint Effusion & Synovitis Fluid accumulation and inflammation detected by ultrasound.
- 6. Ultrasound Findings of Shoulder Pathologies Rotator Cuff Tear Hypoechoic defects and tendon retraction with fluid gaps. Tendinopathy Tendon thickening, heterogeneity, and neovascular signals on Doppler. Bursitis & Biceps Dislocation • Fluid distension >2mm in bursa • Tendon displacement from groove Joint Effusion Anechoic fluid within the glenohumeral joint space.
- 7. Ultrasound-Guided Interventions 1 Corticosteroid Injections Effective for bursitis and tendinopathy pain relief. 2 Hyaluronic Acid Injections Supports osteoarthritis treatment and joint lubrication. 3 Joint Effusion Aspiration Drains excess fluid to reduce swelling and discomfort. 4 Improved Accuracy & Outcomes Needle guidance increases precision by 30-40%, easing recovery.
- 8. Conclusion: MSK Ultrasound in Shoulder Assessment Diagnostic Value Enhances accuracy in evaluating shoulder pain and pathology. Complementary Tool Works alongside clinical exams and other imaging methods. Treatment Guidance Improves safety and success of injections and aspirations. Future Advances Enhanced technology will expand applications and precision. VISIT US-: https://www.mediflick.com/courses/MSK-Ultrasound-Shoulder- Joint-67e3b83bd1e1f85a0f813413
