Course Description:
Ultrasound Guided Peripheral Nerve Injections in an MSK Practice Online Video is designed to provide the fundamentals for performing ultrasound guided peripheral nerve injections in the upper and lower extremity for MSK applications.

Topics:
• Indications for Peripheral Nerve Injections
• Transducer Selection and Image Optimization
• Nerve Anatomy
• Ultrasound Characteristics
• Pre-Procedural Considerations
• Needle Selection and Injection Techniques
• Upper Extremity Ultrasound-Guided Procedures: Suprascapular Nerve Injection, Neuropathy of the Upper Extremity, Median Nerve-Carpal Tunnel Injection
• Lower Extremity Peripheral Nerve Injections: Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block, Fibular Nerve at Fibular Head; Fibular Nerve at Fibular neck; Tibial Nerve at Tarsal Tunnel; Saphenous • • • Nerve Block; Sural Neuroma; Cyst Drainage
• Hydrodissections
