👉 Why this course matters

  • Structured clinical workflow

    Stop scanning without a diagnostic hypothesis. Learn how to combine mechanism of injury, history, inspection, palpation and clinical suspicion before placing the probe, so your ultrasound examination becomes more precise and clinically relevant.

  • Ultrasound-driven decision-making

    Understand what the ultrasound findings mean clinically. Recognise acute, subacute and chronic ligament injuries, identify key sonographic signs and learn how these findings can influence prognosis, treatment planning and return-to-play decisions.

  • Beyond the obvious lateral sprain

    Not every ankle sprain is an ATFL injury. Go further than the anterior talofibular ligament and explore the lateral complex, syndesmosis, deltoid ligament, spring ligament, Lisfranc ligament and other often-overlooked ankle and foot injuries.

Turn Foot & Ankle Ultrasound into a Clinical Advantage

Ankle and foot sprains are often treated as simple lateral ligament injuries, but important associated lesions can be missed if the clinical and ultrasound assessment is not structured.

This course helps you connect the mechanism of injury, clinical findings and ultrasound images so you can identify the injured structures, detect associated lesions and make more confident decisions in daily practice. Designed for clinicians who already use MSK ultrasound and want a more practical, reproducible and clinically useful approach to ankle and foot ligament injuries.

What you will learn

This course gives you a structured framework to assess ankle and foot sprains clinically and sonographically, from the most common lateral injuries to less obvious ligament lesions that can change patient management.

  • Build a clinical hypothesis before scanning Use mechanism of injury, history, inspection and palpation to guide your ultrasound examination.

  • Assess the lateral ankle ligament complex Evaluate the ATFL, CFL and PTFL, and recognise how acute, subacute and chronic injuries appear on ultrasound.

  • Identify medial and syndesmotic injuries Assess the deltoid ligament and anteroinferior tibiofibular ligament, including associated injuries that may influence prognosis.

  • Recognise often-missed foot ligament sprains Explore the dorsal calcaneocuboid, bifurcate, dorsal talonavicular, spring and Lisfranc ligaments when symptoms do not fit a simple lateral sprain.

  • Apply ultrasound findings to clinical decision-making Understand how imaging findings can support diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up.

Who This Course Is For

This course is designed for healthcare professionals who already have a basic understanding of musculoskeletal ultrasound and want to improve their clinical reasoning, scanning technique and diagnostic confidence in ankle and foot ligament injuries.

It is especially relevant for:

  • Sports medicine physicians
  • Radiologists
  • PM&R specialists
  • Rheumatologists
  • Orthopaedic surgeons
  • Primary care physicians with MSK ultrasound experience
  • Physiotherapists and sonographers working within their professional scope of practice

This Course May Not Be for You If…

This is not a beginner introduction to ultrasound. It is best suited for clinicians who already understand basic MSK ultrasound principles and want to improve their assessment of ankle and foot ligament injuries.

If you are completely new to ultrasound, we recommend starting with a more general MSK ultrasound foundation before taking this course.

Why This Course Will Help You

  • Not just isolated videos

    The course follows a progressive structure, helping you move from clinical assessment to ultrasound interpretation and decision-making without gaps.

  • Beyond the lateral ligament

    You will go beyond the most obvious ankle sprains and learn to assess structures that may change management, including the syndesmosis, deltoid ligament, spring ligament, Lisfranc ligament and other foot ligaments.

  • Built for real-world clinical practice

    This course is designed for clinicians who need practical answers, not just anatomical theory. The goal is to help you apply ultrasound findings directly to patient care.
