Why the Knee Deserves More Attention in Your MSK Assessments

Some might assume that assessing the knee is straightforward — it’s a hinge joint after all, take a history, perform a few special test and you're done!

 But any experienced MSK clinician knows the truth: the knee is one of the most complex joints in the body. Subtle pathologies often go undetected until they become persistent, harder-to-manage injuries.

That’s why we created the Lower Limb Diagnostic Ultrasound Masterclass for MSK Clinicians — a hands-on ultrasound training course designed to help you confidently assess and manage knee injuries using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS).

What You’ll Learn

This focused knee ultrasound course goes beyond the basics. You'll dive deep into:

• The anatomy of the knee joint with a focus on ultrasound landmarks
  
  

• High yield scanning techniques to identify subtle but clinically relevant pathology
  
  

• Real-world cases and differential diagnosis strategies using high-resolution ultrasound

• Evidence updates on injection therapies and treatment options from the MSK Playbook series.
  
  

You’ll gain practical skills and advanced scanning technique to help you master:

• The Patella femoral joint pathology – Tendinopathies, fat pad inmpingment syndrome and trochlea pathology.
  
  

• The Postero-lateral corner and hamstring insertions.
  
  

• The key landmarks for injection therapy (Steroid, Hylauronic acid, PRP and genicular nerve blocks)
  
  

• Learn to trace peripheral nerves, and watch our demonstration on scanning for a DVT from our Radiology consultant.
  
  
  
  

With our expert-led instruction, you'll sharpen your ability to differentiate between soft tissue injuries — something physical exams often miss.

Who’s Teaching You?

Learn from a multidisciplinary faculty including an MSK Radiologist, Sports Medicine Consultant, and Consultant Physiotherapist — all with deep clinical and teaching experience in musculoskeletal ultrasound.

Also get key insights from the authors of the MSK playbook series.
