COURSE DESCRIPTION
This practical course was designed to provide veterinarians from mixed or equine practice with the theoretical and especially the practical skills to competently examine every joint and tendon sheath of the equine front- and hindlimb ultrasonographically. A panel of international experts who have dedicated a significant proportion of their careers to musculoskeletal ultrasonography are involved with this course.
The following lectures will be provided as recordings (by Roger Smith):
- How to get the most out of your Ultrasound Machine
- Coffin & Pastern Joints
- Elbow & Shoulder Joint
- Tarsus, Tarsal Bursae & Tarsal Sheath
- Stifle Joint
- What’s the latest on Intra-Articular Biologic Therapies?
The following highly illustrated lectures (in English, no translation but with Swedish moderation) will be held in the mornings:
- Fetlock & Digital Flexor Tendon Sheath
- Carpus & Carpal Sheath
- Hip Joint & Pelvis
- Conventional Systemic & Intra-articular Joint Therapies
Between both afternoons, 9 hours of small group sessions (2 – 4 attendees / ultrasound machine) will give attendees plenty of opportunity to put theory into practice on live horses under the supervision of the specialists. There will furthermore be plenty of time for discussions and each attendee will rotate through the following practical stations:
- Coffin, Pastern & Fetlock Joints
- Digital Flexor Tendon Sheath
- Carpus & Carpal Sheath
- Elbow & Shoulder Joints
- Tarsus, Tarsal Bursae & Sheath
- Stifle Joint
The course fee includes lunches at a restaurant, coffee/tea breaks, a wine & cheese reception, extensive course notes and a certificate of attendance. Attendees can choose to only attend the lectures (= Lectures Only) on this course or can register for the entire course (= Lectures & Practical Sessions). On Early course registration is recommended as there are only a limited number of places available due to the highly practical nature of this course.
