This introductory course provides surgeons with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to integrate ultrasound into upper limb surgical practice. Through expert lectures, live demonstrations, and extensive hands-on training, participants will learn to perform a systematic ultrasound examination, recognize key anatomical landmarks, and optimize ultrasound settings for surgical applications.
\nThe course also focuses on common ultrasound-guided procedures, including injections, trigger finger release, carpal tunnel release, and the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, enabling participants to safely incorporate minimally invasive techniques into their daily practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":120244,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ise_prev_year":0,"imp_prev_year":0,"ise_next_year":0,"imp_next_year":0,"ise_last_date":0,"imp_last_date":0,"ise_next_date":0,"imp_next_date":0,"data":{"subtitle":"BASIC COURSE","year":2027,"slug":"2027-ultrasound-guided-upper-limb-surgery","options":{"C":{"key":"C","title":"BASIC Hands-on course on anatomical specimens","items":[{"text":"Training on anatomical specimens","checked":true},{"text":"Theoretical sessions","checked":true},{"text":"Coffee breaks, lunches","checked":true},{"text":"Friday evening dinner at La Brasserie Les Haras","checked":true}],"warning":"","displayOtherYearCourseButton":null,"displayOtherYearCourseButtonIsVisible":false,"noDatesAvailableCustomMessage":"No dates are currently available.","noDatesAvailableMessage":{"text":"No dates are currently available.","force_show_message":false},"specialOffer":{"text":"","courseId":null},"feature_image_id":120157}},"language":"English","details":{"boardsLists":{"leftboards":[{"title":"Course directors","content":[{"name":"O.
