Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Training for Hemophilia and Other Arthritic Conditions (January 2020)
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Training for Hemophilia and Other Arthritic Conditions, presented by UC San Diego School of Medicine, is a 3-day hands-on course developed to provide training in musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) for evaluation of hemophilic joint disease, but also other arthritic conditions and musculoskeletal abnormalities and syndromes. The main objective of the course is to enable physicians and other care providers to use MSKUS as a point-of-care imaging tool to assist with the diagnosis and treatment of joint pains. In addition, the course has specific elements geared towards hemophilic joint disease to recognize joint bleeding, synovial hypertrophy and synovitis, cartilage degradation, osteochondral lesions and other structural joint abnormalities. The course also includes a teaching module pertaining to the Joint Tissue Activity and Damage Exam (JADE), a validated ultrasound imaging protocol for hemophilic joints

Course Objectives: Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe MSKUS basics, basic physics and knobology.
  • Discuss the basic operations of an ultrasound machine.
  • Interpret and apply sono-anatomy of ankles, knees, elbows, hip (including sacro-iliac joints), facette joints and shoulders.
  • Interpret basic structural abnormalities by sono-pathological findings.
  • Apply standard MSKUS transducer positions for ankles, knees, elbows hip (including sacro-iliac joints), facette joints and shoulders.
  • Describe the Joint Tissue Activity and Damage Exam (JADE) Hemophilia joint ultrasound protocol.
  • Describe the diagnosis of effusions.
  • Distinguish bloody from non-bloody effusions.
  • Perform a diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound recognizing hemarthrosis, synovitis and structural abnormalities (such as meniscus, tendons, ligaments).
  • Quantify synovitis by Power Doppler.
  • Quantify cartilage health, soft tissue and synovial hypertrophy, and osteochondral lesions.
