This two-day practical course was designed to provide veterinarians with the theoretical and especially the practical skills to competently examine every joint of the 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 first day will focus on ultrasonography of the frontlimb and on the second day the hindlimb will be covered together with an update on conventional and regenerative systemic and intra-articular joint therapies.

Between both afternoons , 7 hours of small group sessions (2 – 4 attendees / ultrasound machine) will give attendees plenty of opportunity to further develop their skills 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; Carpus & Carpal Sheath; Digital Flexor Tendon Sheath & Shoulder Joint; Tarsus, Tarsal Bursae & Sheath; Stifle Joint; Correlative NeedleView Arthroscopy – Attendees to choose Joints.
