Canon Sponsored Session | Mastering traumatic foot & ankle ultrasound: From injury to pre-surgical insight
3:00 PM - 3:50 PMPresentation Synopsis / Abstract
Presented by experienced sonographer and ultrasound educator Aaron Fleming, this didactic workshop delivers a focused and practical deep dive into ultrasound assessment of traumatic foot and ankle injuries. Designed for all sonographers, this session blends anatomy, pathology, and real world scanning strategy.
Participants will explore pre surgical ultrasound assessment, with a strong emphasis on:
• Musculoskeletal evaluation of acute and chronic trauma
• Peripheral nerve assessment relevant to foot and ankle injury
• Identifying instability, tears, and surgical relevant findings
The workshop includes detailed ultrasound techniques and case based learning across high yield trauma regions, including:
• Chopart joint injuries
• Lisfranc injuries
• Syndesmosis instability
• Peroneal retinaculum tears and associated tendon pathology
By the end of the session, attendees will walk away with improved confidence in recognising complex traumatic injury patterns, communicating findings effectively, and supporting clinicians with accurate, clinically meaningful ultrasound insight.
