Today …….
• Sports Medicine (SM) does not fit into one area of expertise.
• SM does not target one organ, system or disease - but rather a broad based area that can encompass many areas simultaneously.
(McCrory 2006)
![Page 4: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
This need for a more broad based network of physicians has evolved into an
overlapping of disciplines.
• Athletic Training• Physical Therapy• Chiropractics• Orthopedics• Internal Medicine
• Primary Care• Emergency Medicine• Internal Medicine• and many more….
![Page 5: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Today, a sports medicine physician must be competent in three levels of care:
1. Sub Optimal• Exercise as management of medical problems
2. Optimal• Weekend Warrior
3. Supra-Optimal• Enhancement of performance in athletics
(McCrory 2006)
![Page 6: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Team Physician in Collegiate Athletics
• #1 Priority is to “provide for the well-being of individual athletes enabling each to realize his/her full potential”
• Ultimately responsible for all student-athletes as it relates to health and welfare
• Must utilize resources to have a successful program
(Team 2001)
![Page 7: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ultimately, the Team Physician is responsible for making medical decisions
that affect the student athlete’s safe participation in
any athletic event.
![Page 8: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Duties and Responsibilities
• Medical Management– Physicals– On-field injuries– Illness– Rehab– Return to play – Nutrition– Strength and
Conditioning– Record Keeping
• Administrative– Role delineation– Education of athletes,
parents, coaches, etc.– EAP– Equipment– Coverage– Environmental
(Team, 2001)

Who is the “right” person for a job of this magnitude?
What specialty most appropriately can manage such a
responsibility?
![Page 10: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2005 Harvard Study over a 2 year period
• 73% of initial evals were musculoskeletal
• 27% of initial evals were general medical
• 4% of musculoskeletal injuries required surgery
(Steiner 2005)
![Page 11: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The results of the Harvard study very closely reflect the injury data collected at ETSU over the past 10 years.
![Page 12: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What does this mean?
• The old model of orthopedic surgeon as the team MD may need to be changed
• A physician with a more broad scope of knowledge and a specialization in musculoskeletal medicine and exercise would be more appropriate
![Page 13: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Inter-Association Task Force for Preventing Sudden Death in Collegiate Conditioning Sessions: Best Practices Recommendations
(2010)
“The right combination of strength, speed, cardiorespiratory fitness, and other components of athletic capacity can complement skill and enhance performance for all athletes.”
![Page 14: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Facts
• Since 2000:– 21 NCAA D1 student athletes have died during
conditioning sessions– 75% were football players (16/21)– 52% (11/21) occurred on day 1 or day 2– Three most common causes of death
• Sickle Cell Trait complications• Heat issues• Cardiac issues
![Page 15: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
From 2000 - 2011
• Number of NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision players who died while practicing or playing football
0
![Page 16: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Sickle Cell Trait Complication– Must know the status of every DI student athlete
• Heat Issues– Recognize heat signs/symptoms– Manage acclimatization periods
• Cardiac Issues– ACLS– EKG/Echo – PPE – Disqualification?

Prevalence & Incidence of Sport-Related Concussion
• 1.6 to 3.0 million sport-related concussions occur every year in U.S. (CDC, 2006)
– 5.0% of all collegiate athletic injuries are concussions (Gessel et al. 2007)
• Occur more often in competition than practice (Gessel et al. 2007)

Concussion Resolution
Unanimous agreement that the majority (80% - 90%) of concussions will resolve in a short (7 – 10 day) period.
*college athletes on average recover within 1 – 5 days (Field et al. 2003; Macciocchi et al. 1996; Iverson et al. 2006; McCrea et al. 2003)
*Young children recover slower than High School*High School recover slower than College*College recover slower than Professional*Senior recover slower than everyone

NCAA Return to Play Protocol(McCrory et al. 2009)
Rehabilitation Stage Fx Exercise at Each Stage Objective at Each Stage
1. No Activity Physical and cognitive rest Recovery
2. Light Aerobic Exercise Walk, swim, stationary bike, < 70% of max HR, no resistance training
Increase HR
3. Sport-Specific Exercise Skating drills (hockey), running (soccer), no head impact activities
Add movement
4. Non-contact drills More complex training drills, may being progressive resistance training
Exercise, coordination, and cognitive load
5. Full-contact practice Following medial clearance, participate in normal training activities
Restore athlete’s confidence; coaching staff assess functional skills
6. Return to play Normal game play

The answer is clear….• The primary care physician with a certificate of
added qualification in sports medicine most appropriately fits this new model of a team physician
• This does not, however diminish the value of other physician specialties
![Page 24: The Role of the Primary Care Physician in the Sports Medicine Chain](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681675b550346895ddc21c0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Will there be Tension?• There are going to be
problems/concerns that should never be “solved”
• If we always agree and get along, someone is not doing their job
• If there is tension/disagreement – Does mean there is a problem?
• Know what you know – not what you’ve heard
