Ultrasound education curriculum

Participants were enrolled in a musculoskeletal ultrasound course including 2 components: * An online course (1-2 hours) to be done before the practical session. The videos were made available one (1) month prior to the practical course. This component reviewed the basics of ultrasonography, as well as the normal and abnormal appearance of relevant musculoskeletal structures (bone, tendon, ligaments, muscles, bursas, and nerves), and the ultrasound anatomy of high yield regions of the musculoskeletal system (shoulder, elbow, knee, ankle) * A practical session (4-6 hours) done during one of the usual academic days of the orthopedic residency program. This session covered the use of the ultrasound; the examination of the shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle; ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections and aspirations; and ultrasound-guided distal radius fracture reductions. Ample practice time was given to the residents using means such as phantom models, cadavers, and real patients.
