LIVE CLINICAL WEBINAR

  • Recognize peripheral nerve entrapment and diagnostic pitfalls
  • Evaluate nerve sonoanatomy and pathology with ultrasound
  • Identify appropriate candidates for hydrodissection
  • Compare injectate options, including dextrose, saline, corticosteroids, and PRP
  • Apply case-based treatment planning for common nerve entrapments
Saturday, October 24, 2026
EXPANDED HANDS-ON CLINICAL INTENSIVE

Advance from diagnosis to procedural application through:

  • Hands-on peripheral nerve scanning
  • Clinical decision-making and treatment sequencing
  • XCELL science, processing, and hematology workshop
  • Upper- and lower-extremity procedural mastery labs
  • Technology showcase featuring advanced clinical technologies 

CLINICAL INTENSIVE: DAY AT A GLANCE

MORNING CLINICAL FOUNDATIONS

Clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, imaging correlation, patient selection, contraindications, and treatment sequencing.

LIVE-MODEL ULTRASOUND

Peripheral nerve architecture, probe positioning, dynamic assessment, entrapment sites, and safe needle-trajectory planning.

SCIENCE & PROCESSING

  • Biologic science, XCELL processing workflow, hematology interpretation, quality control, and clinical strategy.

  •  
  •  
FACULTY LUNCH & CASES

Interactive case discussion addressing diagnostic uncertainty, competing pain generators, and treatment selection.

PROCEDURAL MASTERY LABS

Cadaver-based upper- and lower-extremity hydrodissection training with emphasis on identification, safety, technique, and repetition.

TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE

Live demonstrations of advanced technologies that may be integrated into contemporary clinical practice.

HANDS-ON PROCEDURAL MASTERY LAB

Spend the afternoon refining image-guided hydrodissection technique across high-yield peripheral nerve targets. Faculty-led stations emphasize clinically relevant sonoanatomy, safe needle placement, tissue-plane separation, procedural repetition, and troubleshooting.

Proposed Upper-Extremity Targets

  • •Median nerve / carpal tunnel
  • •Ulnar nerve / cubital tunnel
  • •Radial nerve / posterior interosseous or radial tunnel region

Proposed Lower-Extremity Targets

  • •Common peroneal nerve / fibular head
  • •Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve / meralgia paresthetica
  • •Posterior tibial nerve / tarsal tunnel

Final procedural targets are subject to faculty confirmation and may be adjusted to maximize clinical value and procedural transferability.

IS THIS PROGRAM RIGHT FOR YOU?

This Expanded Clinical Intensive is designed for physicians with existing ultrasound and image-guided procedural experience who want to broaden their evaluation and treatment of peripheral nerve entrapment.

IDEAL ATTENDEE

ideal attendees - CI

IDEAL FOR CLINICIANS WHO:

● Want to strengthen peripheral nerve identification and dynamic assessment.
● Seek a structured approach to differentiating nerve entrapment from other pain generators.
● Plan to incorporate ultrasound-guided hydrodissection into an existing treatment algorithm.
● Value faculty-guided repetition, procedural safety, and case-based clinical reasoning.

LEAD FACULTY

Dr. Thomas Buchheit, MD

Thomas Buchheit, MD

Dr. Buchheit completed his residency in anesthesiology and perioperative care at the University of California, San Francisco, and his fellowship in interventional pain management at Wake Forest University. During the first decade of his career, he cared for patients with spine and joint disease in private practice.

In 2010, he moved his practice to Duke University, where he began studying nerve injury pain and served as Chief of Pain Medicine. During his academic career, Dr. Buchheit investigated the immune basis of pain relief following injury and the mechanisms behind regenerative therapies, including platelet-rich plasma, stem cells, and autologous conditioned serum. He has led several studies funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense.

In 2025, Dr. Buchheit founded Triangle Regen Medicine and Biologics Center in Chapel Hill, NC, to bring a wide range of regenerative therapies to patients. He now serves as an adjunct associate professor at Duke and continues to work with scientists at the Center for Translational Pain Medicine.
