We had a nice evening last night at the Winewood restaurant sponsored by Konica Minolta and Emcyte. MSK ultrasound gives the clinician the ability to see soft tissues and joints in real time. I think it is a great diagnostic tool and many times can replace MRI scans so we can make an instant diagnosis for patients. Saves people time and money! If we decide to use Platelet Rich Plasma or bone marrow derived Stem Cells, then we use ultrasound to make sure we are putting these expensive biologic injections exactly where they need to go. Make sure your clinician is skilled at using ultrasound as part of your decision making in deciding where to get the best orthopedic care in this field. I also direct a training course twice a year in Las Vegas and this is our 10th year and we have trained nearly 1000 clinicians on using MSK ultrasound in the office! (www.orthosono.com)
