Fracture sonography is scientifically well recognized in the recent years. Beside the invention of defined algorithms the method was published in the important periodicals (Der Unfallchirurg, Der Radiologe, Trauma & Berufskrankheit). On our congress lectures we were frequently asked for a structured course.

We are now proud to present the actual course curriculum of a comprehensive qualification in fracture ultrasound. In addition to the course participation you can work through a software DVD (for Windows-PC ro IOS/Apple Devices with Wine Bottler) with more than 500 original ultrasound image series from the clinical practice. By this you learn to identify pathologies fast and safe. Furthermore you will learn that a review of ultrasound images is feasible and practicable.

After completing the training and the DVD software you will receive the certificate "Fracture sonography I"
