Gulfcoast: Ultrasound Evaluation of Knee Pathology
$20.00
VIDEO COURSE · Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute
This knee pathology ultrasound evaluation training provides a comprehensive review of commonly encountered knee pathology — covering ultrasound characteristics, diagnostic criteria, and scanning pitfalls across the anterior, medial, lateral, and posterior compartments.

4compartments
-
7topic areas
- Anterior compartment: tendons, fat pads, joint effusion, and bursae
- Medial compartment: MCL, pes anserine, meniscus, and MPFL evaluation
- Lateral compartment: IT band, LCL, popliteus, and lateral meniscus assessment
- Posterior compartment: peroneal nerve, Baker cyst, and neurovascular evaluation
Knee pathology ultrasound evaluation across all four compartments
This knee pathology ultrasound evaluation training from Gulfcoast provides a systematic approach to diagnosing knee pathology across all four compartments — anterior, medial, lateral, and posterior. The course covers ultrasound characteristics, diagnostic criteria, and the scanning pitfalls that affect interpretation accuracy, with dedicated attention to tendon, ligament, meniscal, and neurovascular assessment.
Inside this resource
Anterior knee compartment evaluation
The anterior compartment addresses quadriceps and patellar tendon assessment, patella evaluation, fat pad pathology, and joint effusion detection. Synovitis, loose bodies, and plica identification are covered alongside prepatellar, deep, and superficial infrapatellar bursae — the structures that contribute to anterior knee pain syndromes.
Medial and lateral compartment assessment
Medial compartment evaluation covers MCL integrity, pes anserine assessment, medial meniscus evaluation, and MPFL imaging. The lateral compartment addresses IT band pathology, lateral collateral ligament assessment, popliteus tendon evaluation, biceps femoris imaging, and lateral meniscus evaluation — the structures most relevant to sports-related knee injury assessment.
Posterior compartment and neurovascular assessment
The posterior compartment covers peroneal nerve evaluation, Baker cyst characterisation, neurovascular bundle assessment, and PCL imaging. This compartment addresses the pathology that often presents as posterior knee pain — the structures that require careful scanning technique to evaluate accurately.
Diagnostic criteria and scanning pitfalls
Throughout all compartments, the course emphasises the diagnostic criteria that guide clinical decision-making and the common pitfalls that affect interpretation. The aim is building confidence in recognising pathology patterns and applying systematic evaluation criteria to improve diagnostic accuracy.
Who this serves
- Sonographers performing MSK knee scanning — develop systematic pathology recognition across all four compartments
- Sports medicine physicians — build diagnostic accuracy for ligament, meniscus, and tendon pathology
- Orthopaedic trainees — strengthen knee ultrasound competency with structured evaluation criteria
Before you buy
Does this cover normal anatomy or pathology only?
Focused on pathology evaluation — diagnostic criteria, ultrasound characteristics, and scanning pitfalls for commonly encountered knee conditions.
Which areas of the knee are evaluated?
All four: anterior, medial, lateral, and posterior — with dedicated attention to the structures relevant to each compartment.

Downloaded for a knee scanning refresher. The diagnostic criteria and pitfalls sections help avoid the mistakes I was making in practice.
Marcus J. –
Systematic compartment-by-compartment approach works extremely well for knee evaluation. The anterior compartment coverage of fat pads and bursae is thorough.
Sarah K. –
Practical knee pathology training. The posterior compartment section on Baker cyst and peroneal nerve evaluation is especially well presented.
James R. –
Good diagnostic criteria coverage across all compartments. The medial and lateral meniscus assessment sections are immediately applicable to sports scanning.
M. Alvarez –
Content is solid but I wanted more case examples showing less common pathology. The seven topic areas provide good breadth at the cost of depth.
Hannah M. –
Exactly what I needed for building systematic knee evaluation skills. The compartment organisation makes it easy to reference specific regions later.
