Description
Upper extremity tendinopathies remain one of the most common debilitating diagnoses affecting individuals that present to the orthopaedic surgeon.  Patients are often functionally impaired with their daily tasks as well as recreational/competitive sporting activities yet may present in a delayed fashion or their presentation may be seemingly vague making diagnosis challenging.  In this webinar, we will explore the most common upper extremity tendinopathies with a particular focus on the tips and tricks to aid in the appropriate and accurate diagnosis of these conditions while also exploring the newest innovations in the management of these conditions as well as a review of the clinical outcomes to guide patient expectations.

Learning Objectives
1)  Accurately differentiate between various differential diagnoses for vague upper extremity pain based on their distinct clinical presentations and provocative physical examination maneuvers 
2)  Recognize the appropriate need for advanced imaging modalities or interventions to assist diagnosis
3)  Gain insight into the latest minimally invasive innovations in management of these conditions
4) Review the current literature to assist in guiding patient expectations about these conditions and their management
