Over the past decade, we as physiatrists have greatly contributed to the unprecedented advancements in primary care sports medicine through our work of improving musculoskeletal ultrasound all while also expanding our roles as team physicians across the nation. In result of this growing trend within our field, physiatrists are now evaluating athletes with acute injuries on the sidelines as well as in the training room on a more consistent basis. It is important to note however that this new working environment presents novel challenges for the care provider, in comparison to the traditional outpatient clinic format. Specifically, the team physician must be trained and adept to accurately diagnosing and appropriately treating not only chronic musculoskeletal conditions, but also the acute musculoskeletal and acute general medical diseases. In this session, we have collaborated with many of the top clinical ultrasonographers from around the country to present this unified first-of-its-kind hands on ultrasound zoom break-out session. Topics will include bone stress injuries, unique muscle strains/hematomas, dynamic knee evaluation, acute ankle injuries and critical foot fractures. We will also highlight pathology related to the acute shoulder, including dislocations. Bonus material, not traditionally taught within physiatry, includes ultrasound assessment of the acute abdomen, highlighting the widely acclaimed FAST exam. In summary, we're very excited to share our expertise and demonstrate how as trained physiatrists, we can truly utilize ultrasound to it’s fullest diagnostic potential to ensure that we continue to deliver the finest care possible to our patients in the athletic training room scenario.
