For several decades, ultrasound has been an indispensable tool in the diagnosis and management of conditions across different fields of medicine. Over time it has become increasingly reliable and capable of providing higher-quality information, while reducing the size and cost of equipment and procedures.

In the musculotendinous and articular field, ultrasound is certainly a highly valuable aid, both diagnostically and therapeutically: in addition to monitoring the onset of complications, it can guide infiltration procedures or, in some cases, minor surgical interventions. It is, however, an application that harbors many pitfalls, with a high percentage of incidental findings that need to be correlated with clinical and medical history data to avoid misinterpretation.

The Course aims to present an approach to the technique that is integrated within clinical reasoning, highlighting how medical history, clinical examination, and point-of-care ultrasound can be combined to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic performance in the conservative management of knee pathology. Theoretical sessions will be combined with practical exercises covering both clinical tests and ultrasound examination — first general, then condition-specific — presented in a structured and focused manner.
