After completing the Rotator Cuff Ultrasound course, you will be able to identify abnormalities such as tears or calcifications. You will also learn to correlate clinical and imaging findings to determine the actual cause of your patient’s pain.

In this course, we will explore common shoulder issues like tendinopathies, bursitis, and partial or full-thickness tears. You’ll learn that not all rotator cuff tears cause symptoms and gain a deeper understanding of shoulder pain. We’ll guide you through a systematic approach to conduct your examination.

In the hands-on practice module, expertly filmed for educational clarity, Dr. Brasseur will guide you through performing comprehensive ultrasound exams, using bilateral comparisons and various angles to evaluate the rotator cuff.

The course also emphasizes the advantages of ultrasound over other imaging techniques like MRI, highlighting its dynamic capabilities, cost-effectiveness, and interventional possibilities.
