Accreditation & Course Objectives

Accreditation
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of Nevada State Medical Association through the joint sponsorship of University Medical Center and CME Science. The University Medical Center is accredited by the NSMA to provide continuing medical education for physicians. University Medical Center of Southern Nevada designates this educational activity for a maximum of 17.5 category 1 credit towards the American Medical Associations Physician Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those credits that he/she actually spent in this activity.

Course Description
This course provides a unique opportunity to receive 17.5 hours of exclusive instruction from Dr. David Stoller, the author of the preeminent textbooks on orthopedic imaging, including:

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine 3rd Edition
• Diagnostic Imaging Orthopaedics
• Pocket Radiologist Orthopaedics
• MRI in Orthopaedics and Rheumatology
• MRI, Arthroscopy, and Surgical Anatomy of the Joints
• Stoller’s Atlas of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine
• The Interactive Knee, Shoulder, Hip, Ankle, Foot and Wrist CDs (Primal Pictures)
• The Virtual Radiology Fellowship (online and DVDs)

Course Objectives
Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to:
• Develop a shoulder checklist method including interpretation techniques for the rotator cuff and interval, biceps labral complex, inferior glenohumeral ligament complex, and capsular structures including the anterior band. Identify glenoid wear patterns in multidirectional instability, microinstability, anterior and posterior instability.
• Develop knee checklist with foolproof ACL diagnosis and techniques for prospective diagnosis of all types of meniscal tears, differentiating circumferential surface from cross sectional tear patterns. Introduce strategies in the evaluation of the cruciate ligaments, posterolateral instability, and articular cartilage.
• Develop a femoroacetabular impingement checklist and distinguish between FAI and DDH pathology. Discuss approaches for accurate acetabular-labral tear identification. Introduce orthopedic articular cartilage classification for the acetabular roof.
• Develop an ankle checklist including articulations, ligaments, tendons and articular cartilage. Understand all types of soft tissue ankle impingement and posterior ligamentous and subtalar joint anatomy.
• Develop a wrist checklist with emphasis on the intrinsic and extrinsic ligaments and the triangular fibrocartilage. Understand the relevance of perilunate instability, SLAC, and triscaphe arthritis.
• Develop an elbow checklist with the ability to differentiate epicondylitis frominstability patterns and understand posterolateral instability and the Circle of Horii.
