Course Description

Radiography continues to play a crucial role in musculoskeletal emergency medicine, especially as the first-line imaging modality in emergency departments. This course is designed to prepare you to assess MSK emergencies when utilizing radiography and other imaging modalities in the emergency setting.

In this comprehensive, multi-modality course, Dr. John Carrino walks you through how both projection radiography and advanced imaging techniques provide or exclude diagnoses in an emergency setting, facilitating timely and effective treatment. He’ll also showcase his checklist approach to reviewing cases to detect abnormalities, minimizing potential diagnostic misses and liability.

Start with Dr. Carrino’s in-depth review of anatomical landmarks in the upper and lower extremities on X-Ray, and ensure complete satisfaction of search in your own approach. Then, follow along as Dr. Carrino reviews real-world MSK cases seen during ED call, including examples of:

  • Elbow fracture
  • Perilunate dislocation
  • Calcific tendinitis in the hip
  • Tibial plateau fracture
  • Peroneal retinaculum avulsion
  • Mallet finger
  • Lung apex lesion
  • …and more!
