    A medical panel consisting of five prestigious physicians are asked to discuss the importance of clinical research and publications. A topic discussed is grant approval, and how industry funded research and government funded research are merging in many fields. Also discussed is how being involved in clinical research differs from that of academic research. Another topic is learning how to write and submit a grant.

    Dr. George Chien demonstrates how to visualize the plantar fascia and the Achilles tendon of the foot under ultrasound. He discusses how to identify pathology of these structures (plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy) to visually confirm a diagnosis. He also explains the proper technique for injecting regenerative elements, such as PRP, under ultrasound, including injectate volume.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]

    Dr. Chang Chien demonstrates how to create and utilize a ‘gel bridge’ with ultrasound, to better visualize structures of the knee, including the bursa. He then shows how this ‘gel bridge’ can be used for optimal needle placement into the bursa. He also gives a brief tutorial of several knee structures as seen under ultrasound.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]

    Dr. Chang Chien gives an in depth talk on the pathophysiology of tendon and ligament degeneration and inflammation. He goes into detail on the standard treatments for these soft tissue pathologies and how recent data suggest that platelet-rich plasma. (PRP) be an extremely synergistic treatment when added with analgesics and corticosteroids. He discusses several studies to support these claims in more detail.
