Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Ultrasound Focus Series

ULTRASOUND HANDS-ON WORKSHOP: Hand/Wrist

 

Lecturer:

Todd P. Stitik, MD, RMSK and President – New Jersey Society of PM&R

Todd Stitik is a Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

His primary clinical interests include musculoskeletal ultrasound, osteoarthritis and image-guided injection procedures.

 

 

Workshop Overview:

The workshop will consist of lecture and video material from actual injections with an emphasis on the hand/wrist

• Videotaped examples of actual injection procedures
• Hands-on small group scanning for diagnostic and simulated injection procedures
• Dorsal wrist/hand: 1st dorsal compartment; 2nd- 6th dorsal compartments;
  distal & proximal intersection syndromes;
  1st CMC, MCP, PIP, & DIP joints; radiocarpal & distal radioulnar joints; TFCC;
  scapholunate ligament; radial nerve lock; dorsal ganglion cyst aspiration/
  fenestration
• Volar wrist/hand: carpal tunnel procedures (corticosteroid injection, median
  nerve hydrodissection, carpal ligament fenestration); Guyon’s canal
  hydrodissection; volar ganglion cyst aspiration/fenestration; trigger finger
  procedures (tendon sheath corticosteroid injection, A1 pulley fenestration);
  Volar plate PRP

Objectives

• Review the basic sonographic anatomy of the normal hand/wrist
• Identify common pathologic processes involving the hand/wrist as seen
  during diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound evaluations
• Perform simulated ultrasound-guided hand/wrist region injection procedures
