Watch On-Demand
Watch Now
Join SonoSkills founder Marc Schmitz, clinician and educator specializing in musculoskeletal ultrasound, for an expert-led webinar focused on high-resolution ultrasound of the hip joint and lateral hip region.
This 1-hour session will guide clinicians through practical, anatomy-driven scanning approaches to evaluate common sources of hip pain, with a focus on lateral hip pathology. You’ll learn:
- Step-by-step scanning techniques for the hip joint and trochanteric region
- Key sonoanatomy of the gluteus medius/minimus tendons, greater trochanter, and bursal structures
- Recognition of common pathologies: gluteal tendinopathy, trochanteric bursitis, snapping hip, joint effusion, and iliopsoas-related conditions
- Tips for dynamic assessment and injection planning using ultrasound
- How to optimize imaging using Clarius high-resolution wireless scanners
Using live demonstrations and case-based examples, Marc Schmitz will explore sonoanatomy, scanning protocols, and pathology recognition in structures such as the gluteal tendons, trochanteric bursa, iliotibial band, tensor fascia latae, and hip joint.
Whether you’re a beginner refining your skills or an advanced user seeking deeper insight into lateral hip imaging, this session will provide valuable, real-time clinical guidance for accurate diagnosis and procedural planning.
Mr. Schmitz will be joined by your host Shelley Guenther. Together, they will show how POCUS can aid in diagnosis, treatment planning and efficacy, improving care and outcomes for your patients with hip pain.
Founder & CEO of SonoSkills
Marc Schmitz, MSc
During his MSc. at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Marc’s interest in functional human anatomy grew tremendously while dissecting and studying cadavers. It was here that his interest in observing functional human anatomy in “real-time” peaked, which led to the start of embracing musculoskeletal ultrasound. After completing numerous courses and attending conferences on the topic, he started developing his own course and SonoSkills was formed in 2010. Since then SonoSkills has taught its courses in 30 countries. Marc’s team consists out of 22 expert trainers. He teaches, next to managing SonoSkills, the foundational course and some intermediate level courses. Marc has a special interest in the shoulder joint.
