Ultrasound for Orthopaedics

While recently attending an Orthopaedic conference, I happened to listen to an interesting lecture on the many uses of ultrasound.

This article published in Becker’s Orthopedics approximately one month ago highlights many of the finer points of ultrasound and shoulder pathology.
