Description

A 60-year-old diabetic female presents with progressive shoulder pain and decreased range-of-motion. She had open heart surgery approximately 5 months ago. The pain and ROM decrease is gradual in nature and the patient reports difficulty dressing. What is your differential diagnosis? What imaging modalities would you order? As healthcare costs continue to climb, practitioners face increasing pressure to order the most specific and sensitive imaging modalities. This seminar will help ease that burden by providing a practical, step-by-step approach that will lead you to the correct diagnosis quickly. You will learn to order and interpret the most cost-effective and sensitive modalities for common orthopaedic fractures and dislocations, including stress fractures, rotator cuff tears/impingement and elbow dislocations.
Utilizing plain x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, bone scans, and case studies, Jodi Chambers will teach you the essential aspects of the orthopaedic evaluation and examination. A crash course in orthopaedic terminology will enhance your ability to communicate imaging results to your orthopaedic colleagues. Attend this seminar and gain the confidence and deeper understanding you need to effectively manage your orthopaedic patients.
