Gulfcoast: Ultrasound Evaluation of Shoulder Pathology — rotator cuff tears graded, measured and reported
Gulfcoast: Ultrasound Evaluation of Shoulder Pathology is a single training video devoted almost entirely to the rotator cuff. It separates articular, bursal and intrasubstance partial tears from large and massive full-thickness tears, then covers tendinosis, fatty infiltration and atrophy, effusions, secondary signs and the pitfalls that trip up cuff sonography.

What you’ll be able to do
- Distinguish partial-thickness articular, bursal and intrasubstance supraspinatus tears
- Characterise large and massive full-thickness tears and tendon volume loss
- Grade fatty infiltration and muscle atrophy as prognostic signs
- Use secondary findings and effusions to support a cuff diagnosis
- Avoid the classic pitfalls of rotator cuff scanning
Inside the course
How cuff tears develop
Pathogenesis sets the scene for why the supraspinatus insertion fails first and how tears progress.
Shoulder pathology tear by tear
Partial tears by surface, full-thickness tears by size, intrasubstance defects and tendinosis, each with its sonographic hallmarks and diagnostic criteria.
Muscle, fluid and indirect signs
Fatty change and atrophy, joint and bursal fluid, secondary signs, miscellaneous cuff disorders and the traps to watch for.
Built for
- MSK sonographersSharper reporting of the commonest shoulder request.
- RadiologistsA cuff-focused review with clear criteria.
- Orthopaedic and sports cliniciansBetter sense of what a scan report means for repair planning.

Before you buy
Do I already have this shoulder video if I own the Gulfcoast MSK collection?
Very likely. The Gulfcoast Musculoskeletal Ultrasound set (MS-644) includes a chapter with the same title, “Ultrasound Evaluation of Shoulder Pathology”, so this is probably a stand-alone copy of it.
Does it cover biceps, labrum or impingement?
Those are not listed; the content is centred on the rotator cuff. Running time, size and presenter are not given.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
