Workshop ultrasound of the wrist and hand

The wrist and hand have a very complex anatomy that is well demonstrated on modern high resolution ultrasound. The first part of this workshop will refresh relevant anatomy, the second "hands on" part will demonstrate these anatomic pecularities, where as in the last part the relevance of this anatomy will be demonstrated in pathological cases. The regions that are addressed are the dorsal hood and extensor mechanism, the flexor tendons, the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb with special interest in the detection of Steners lesion. The ulnar nerve and Guyon's canal. And the extensor compartments with special focus on the first (De Quervain's) compartment and the sixth or ECU compartment.
