Mastering advanced views of the hip and buttock
4:40 PM - 5:15 PMPresentation Synopsis / Abstract
This session delivers an advanced-level exploration of ultrasound techniques for the hip and deep gluteal region. Through live scanning, participants will refine advanced probe manipulation, anisotropy control, and dynamic assessment strategies to evaluate complex anatomy with precision.
Focus will include high-resolution visualization of the nerves of the hip region as well as piriformis, deep external rotators, adductor compartment, and the iliopsoas bursa, along with assessment of the ischiofemoral space and posterior joint recesses. Challenging diagnostic scenarios—such as deep gluteal syndrome, nerve entrapment, ischiofemoral impingement, and subtle fluid collections—will be addressed.
Emphasis on nuanced technique, image optimization, and problem-solving aims to elevate diagnostic confidence in advanced musculoskeletal ultrasound practice.
