Orthopaedic x-ray interpretation course | 1 February 2025

Overview

This course, in partnership with Orthopaedic Academy, provides an in-depth understanding of interpreting normal and pathological radiographic findings in orthopaedic cases, covering both adult and paediatric patients.

Participants will learn how to correlate imaging with clinical decision-making, enhancing their skills in musculoskeletal radiology.

Objectives: By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify normal radiographic anatomy
  • Recognise key orthopaedic pathologies in trauma and elective conditions on both paediatrics and adults
  • Apply radiographic measurements to the upper limb, lower limb, and spine
  • Link imaging findings with orthopaedic clinical decision-making
  • Engage in case discussions with expert-led panels

Who should attend?

The course is designed for Foundation Doctors, Core Trainees, Trust Doctors, A&E Doctors, General Practitioners, Medical Students, Physiotherapists, Advanced Nurse Practitioners and any healthcare professional with an interest in orthopaedics and musculoskeletal care.

What is included in the course?

  1. Spotter cases:
    – To practice interpreting radiographs with unknown pathology
    – To assess both normal and pathological findings across various regions of the musculoskeletal system
  2. Demonstrations of normal anatomy:
    – To learn to recognise key radiographic landmarks
    – To understand the normal presentation of upper limb, lower limb, and spine anatomy
  3. Trauma radiology:
    – To explore common trauma cases, including fractures and dislocations
    – To understand how to recognise subtle fractures and associated injuries
  4. Elective conditions:
    – To cover radiographic presentations of common elective conditions (e.g., osteoarthritis, joint replacements)
    – Learn decision-making based on chronic musculoskeletal disorders

Interactive components:

  • Expert-led case discussions: Participants will engage in guided case discussions with an expert panel, allowing them to apply knowledge in real-world scenarios
  • Clinical practice: Participants will interpret a variety of x-ray cases, focusing on clinical relevance and diagnosis

This comprehensive course offers practical training to improve radiological interpretation skills and supports better clinical decision-making in orthopaedic care.
