Orthopedics CEU Courses for PTs

Clavicle fractures account for 5% of upper extremity fractures and up to 15% in children. Scapular fractures account for 3% to 5% of all shoulder girdle fractures. Eighty to 95% of all scapular fractures are accompanied by other serious injuries like shoulder fractures, collarbone, and ribs. Clavicle and scapular fractures can cause serious impairment to the biomechanics of the upper extremity and function. This webinar revisits the anatomy of the clavicle and scapula and explains the fracture classification, radiological appearance, treatment strategies, and complications of these fractures.

Long-COVID or Post-COVID conditions are a wide range of ongoing health problems that affect individuals who had the virus. This presentation will provide an evidence-based update regarding the diagnosis of Long-COVID, short and long-term complications, medical management, and rehabilitation strategies for the physical therapist.

Studies indicate that up to 95% of women with chronic low back pain also report symptoms consistent with pelvic floor dysfunction. You may not be a pelvic health specialist, but there are many tools that you can access to allow you to screen and perform a differential diagnosis for pelvic floor dysfunction, treat your patients for low back pain in a pelvic floor-informed way, and know when to refer out to a specialist.
