We are presenting this unique multi-modality Course at Oswestry, providing participants with the skills to perform musculoskeletal intervention procedures on various imaging modalities. Whilst there are a number of ultrasound courses, we feel this is probably the only course that offers practical cadaveric experience under fluorosopy and CT.

There are only 24 delegate places available

Topics covered include • Imaging techniques and their role in orthopaedic imaging in particular image optimisation especially for CT and MRI.

• Nuclear Medicine and its role in orthopaedic imaging especially in infection.

• Imaging strategies and findings for common implant pathologies especially infection and, sterile loosening and their differential diagnosis.

• Implant technology has led to a bewildering number of materials and designs. The reasons for this will be explored and strengths and particularly weaknesses and typical complications will be demonstrated by an engineer and orthopaedic surgeon.

• The typical problems and complications of orthopaedic implants in the most relevant areas will be reviewed by a team of an orthopaedic surgeon specialised in this area and a radiologist. • Implant related problems especially soft tissue problems such as bursitis, nerve injury and muscle and tendon problems.
