📍 Bring MSK Ultrasound Training to Your Facility

Looking for hands-on MSK ultrasound training for your team?

I offer private, small-group MSK ultrasound courses hosted right at your facility and tailored to your clinical needs. These sessions focus on real-world scanning, image optimization, and practical clinical applications — all in a supportive, interactive learning environment.

Last week in NYC, I had the pleasure of working with an incredible group of Sports Medicine Fellows and a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation resident. Such a smart, motivated group — and a lot of great scanning!

Small group. Big skills. 💪🖥️

Perfect for:
• Sports medicine providers
• Orthopedic teams
• MSK clinicians looking to build confidence with ultrasound

✔️ Personalized instruction
✔️ Practical, high-yield content
✔️ Train where you work

What’s causing this lump on the top of the shoulder? 🤔

That visible lump is often an AC joint cyst, most commonly caused by a chronic full-thickness rotator cuff tear — a classic finding known as the ✨ Geyser Sign ✨

👇 Here’s what’s happening 👇

🔹 A long-standing rotator cuff tear disrupts the normal barrier that keeps joint fluid contained
🔹 Joint fluid escapes upward from the shoulder
🔹 The humeral head migrates superiorly and the AC joint capsule weakens
🔹 Fluid travels through the subacromial–subdeltoid bursa into the AC joint
🔹 Result: a visible cyst on top of the shoulder

🩻 Ultrasound findings may include:
• Large or chronic full-thickness rotator cuff tear
• Glenohumeral joint effusion
• Subacromial–subdeltoid bursitis
• A fluid tract connecting the GH joint to an AC joint cyst

🎥 Dynamic ultrasound may even show fluid movement with shoulder motion — the classic “geyser” appearance

What’s causing this lump on the top of the shoulder? 🤔

That visible lump is often an acromioclavicular (AC) joint cyst, typically caused by a chronic full-thickness rotator cuff tear — a classic finding known as the Geyser Sign.

👇 Here’s what’s happening 👇

🔹 A long-standing rotator cuff tear disrupts the normal barrier that keeps joint fluid contained
🔹 Fluid from the shoulder joint escapes upward
🔹 Over time, the humeral head migrates superiorly and the AC joint capsule weakens
🔹 Synovial fluid travels through the subacromial–subdeltoid bursa into the AC joint
🔹 Result: a visible cyst on top of the shoulder

🩻 Ultrasound findings may include:
• Large or chronic full-thickness rotator cuff tear
• Glenohumeral joint effusion
• Subacromial–subdeltoid bursitis
• A fluid tract connecting the GH joint to an AC joint cyst

🎥 Dynamic ultrasound may even show fluid movement with shoulder motion — the classic “geyser” appearance.

Do you know which deformity presents as a hard on the ?

The answer is: Haglund’s deformity

Haglund’s deformity is a prominence that forms at the insertion onto the posterosuperior aspect of the .

The patient may present with the following symptoms:

🔹 Palpable lump on the back of the heel
🔹Skin discoloration in area of lump
🔹 Heel pain
🔹 Posterior ankle swelling

On ultrasound, the lump will appear as multiple growths of bone extending outwards from the surface of the posterosuperior calcaneus. This is called exostosis. The Achilles tendon should also be scanned in the long and short axis and power should be utilized to document and hyperemia present within the tendon or surrounding bursae,

Associated ultrasound findings may include:

🔹An underlying calcaneus spur
🔹 Achilles tendinosis and/ or tears
🔹Retrocalcaneal and/ or superficial calcaneal
bursitis

I had such a great time presenting at RSNA 2025 in Chicago! It was frigid the past few days, but I still managed to squeeze in a little time to walk around and enjoy some of the city sights around the holidays.

I want to say a special thank you to Canon Medical for inviting me to be a speaker, and for hosting an amazing dinner party at Smith and Wollensky. It was great to be in the company of old and new friends. What an amazing opportunity it was to meet and get to know so many brilliant people from around the world who are experts in their respective fields.

I am truly humbled and honored to be a part of this group and greatly appreciate the hospitality!
