Inside this resource
Normal knee anatomy on ultrasound
The video opens with a systematic review of normal knee anatomy — bony landmarks, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and fluid spaces — and how each structure appears on ultrasound. Understanding the normal sonographic appearance is the foundation for recognizing pathology, and this session provides the detailed baseline that sonographers need before tackling abnormal findings.
Scan techniques across all four compartments
The core of the training covers compartment-specific scan techniques. Anterior knee evaluation addresses the quadriceps tendon, patellar tendon, prepatellar bursa, and suprapatellar recess. Medial and lateral compartments examine collateral ligaments and meniscal margins. Posterior knee techniques assess the popliteal fossa, gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa, and Baker’s cyst evaluation. Each compartment is demonstrated with probe placement, orientation, and optimization tips.
Examination protocol and clinical application
A complete routine examination protocol ties the compartment-specific techniques into a reproducible workflow. The video addresses the limitations of knee ultrasound — what it cannot show compared to MRI — and common pitfalls such as anisotropy, acoustic shadowing, and misidentification of normal variants. Learning objectives include increasing confidence in performing and interpreting MSK ultrasound of the knee and applying standardized protocols to improve diagnostic and treatment accuracy.

Kevin M. –
Concise and practical. The compartment-by-compartment scan technique walkthrough gave me a reproducible workflow for bedside knee ultrasound. The pitfalls section saved me from anisotropy errors.
Monica R. –
Solid technique video from Gulfcoast. The probe placement tips for the medial and lateral compartments were particularly helpful. Good value for a focused MSK ultrasound resource.
Laura B. –
Good foundation in normal knee ultrasound anatomy. The anterior and posterior knee scanning demonstrations were clear. I would have liked some abnormal examples but as a normal-anatomy review it does its job well.
Samir H. –
Exactly what I needed to build confidence in MSK ultrasound. The protocol demonstration at the end ties everything together. Short, focused, and clinically useful.
Alan P. –
Well-produced but basic. If you already have some MSK ultrasound experience, this may feel introductory. For beginners it is a solid starting point for knee sonography.
