Ultrasound-guided Upper Limb Surgery (Jan 15 - 16, 2027)

Ultrasound-guided Upper Limb Surgery is organized by Research Institute Against Digestive Cancer / Institut de Recherche contre les Cancers de l'Appareil Digestif (IRCAD) and will be held from Jan 15 - 16, 2027 at IRCAD France, Strasbourg, Grand Est, France.

Description:
This introductory course provides surgeons with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to integrate ultrasound into upper limb surgical practice. Through expert lectures, live demonstrations, and extensive hands-on training, participants will learn to perform a systematic ultrasound examination, recognize key anatomical landmarks, and optimize ultrasound settings for surgical applications.
The course also focuses on common ultrasound-guided procedures, including injections, trigger finger release, carpal tunnel release, and the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, enabling participants to safely incorporate minimally invasive techniques into their daily practice.

Course Objectives:

• Understand the principles of musculoskeletal ultrasound
• Optimize ultrasound machine settings for surgical applications
• Perform a systematic ultrasound examination of the upper limb
• Identify key anatomical structures and landmarks
• Perform common ultrasound-guided injections
• Perform ultrasound-guided trigger finger release
• Perform ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release
• Perform ultrasound-guided surgery for lateral epicondylitis
