    Learn about facial injury red flags, CSF identification, EAP essentials, and return-to-play guidelines for athletes from Dr. Rehal Bhojani. Q: What are the red flags for hematomas? A: Protocols from SCAT6 and other guidelines for hematomas or hemorrhages emphasize watching for loss of consciousness (LOC), altered mental status, and vomiting. Quickly identify these signs to avoid missing late concussions or other critical issues. Ensure the mechanism of injury (MOI) aligns with the trauma; diagnosis is challenging if it doesn't. Q: How can CSF be identified, and what is the "halo sign" red flag? A: The halo sign, also known as the ring sign, remains the best indicator for identifying cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF is distinct: it has a clear-to-mucous color, is super thin, lighter than water, and does not mix with other fluids. For instance, a soccer player initially diagnosed with a concussion showed a bloody nose and consistent halo sign post-game, necessitating immediate emergency room referral. Q: What essential elements should be added to an Emergency Action Plan (EAP)? A: EAPs are becoming more comprehensive, focusing on three key areas. First, ensure resource accessibility by including contacts for ENTs, dentists, and eye doctors. Second, review the EAP regularly, two to three times a year, rather than just annually, using past injury knowledge to proactively improve it. Third, if using AI to draft EAPs, meticulously verify all listed resources. Q: What items should be included in kits for eye and tooth injuries? A: For eye and tooth injuries, kits should include 4x4 gauzes, an otoscope, a "Save a Tooth" system, eyedrops, nasal tampons, and Afrin. Physician-approved medications should also be added, along with an ENT kit, which is available online. Q: What are the risks and benefits of athletic trainers performing sutures on the field? A: On-field suturing depends on the location and type of laceration, with the cause (e.g., metal object) being crucial due to potential tetanus considerations. Athletes often return to play the same day with sutures. For facial lacerations, specific types and sizes of sutures are used, but caution is advised near the eye. Eyebrows and the skull are generally suitable for suturing if no underlying fracture exists. Control bleeding and inform athletes of the risks associated with playing with sutures; safety is paramount. Q: When can athletes return to play after tooth injuries? A: For primary (baby) teeth, if no secondary tooth injury is suspected, return to play (RTP) is generally straightforward. However, secondary tooth injuries involving complex factors can lead to lasting effects. It is important to document whether the injury involves primary versus permanent teeth. For younger children, involve parents to understand the mechanism of injury and the potential for future crown and root fractures. Q: What current sports medicine trends should recent graduates be aware of or learn in the classroom? A: Sports medicine is constantly evolving, with increased pressure for accurate decision-making. Recent graduates need to be proficient in current literature and comfortable with shared decision-making and escalating care. As athletic trainers often serve as primary sports medicine providers, they require broad skills across various domains. Q: How can these emerging sports medicine competencies be effectively taught? A: Teaching these competencies is challenging due to the need for comprehensive exposure. Educational methods vary by setting, and the field has expanded significantly. Training provides a broad scope, so it's important not to be narrow-minded. Past experiences remain relevant, and post-training, continuous reading and skill refinement are crucial. In a controlled educational environment, students should learn as much as possible, as quickly as possible, to prepare for real-world practice.

  • Osteopathic Manipulation Therapy In Sports Medicine

    Osteopathic Manipulation Therapy In Sports Medicine

    Dr. Dominic Maneen shares insights on OMT in sports medicine, covering his AT to DO transition and OMT applications for common conditions. Q: How did you transition from an Athletic Trainer (ATC) to a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO)? A: I transitioned to practicing sports medicine without surgery, as that field didn't align with my interests. I explored osteopathic medicine, identifying the core difference between DOs and MDs as a dedicated course in osteopathic principles. I maintained my athletic training certification to foster understanding and collaboration with ATCs, and a second course focusing on the musculoskeletal system further ignited my passion. During medical school, I also pursued an MBA, gaining insights into medical billing. Q: Can you describe your athletic training (AT) experience at HBU? A: I completed my undergraduate studies at UT, then worked as an ATC for baseball and softball at HBU. I entered the profession serendipitously, drawn by the phrase "sports medicine." It required rapid maturation, as I assumed an adult role despite being only slightly older than the athletes. I collaborated with Richy Valdez and several GAs, and student athletic trainers were indispensable since it was impossible to simultaneously oversee both baseball and softball. I recall an incident involving twin softball players: one sister not playing, the other on deck, with an accidental practice swing hitting the sister, necessitating a golf cart ride to the adjacent facility. Q: Why is low back pain a significant health concern, and how is it related to depression and lifestyle? A: Low back pain is the second most common reason people visit the doctor, with depression being the first. Patients typically present with symptoms that indirectly lead to a depression diagnosis, rather than overtly stating "depression." A sedentary lifestyle is often termed "the new smoking" in medicine, leading to tight, unused muscles. Hands-on manipulation therapy can be beneficial, and simple exercises like push-ups can improve posture by strengthening the neck muscles that support the head. Many individuals struggle with core muscle activation; focusing on proper technique and guiding them to engage their core will lead to increased strength over time. Q: How do you address flat feet in patients? A: Patients often present with concurrent back and knee pain. Structural analysis can reveal the cause, leading to recommendations for inserts or corrective devices for arch support, rather than immediate surgical intervention. Subsequent efforts focus on improving knee mechanics to alleviate symptoms. Q: What is your approach to concussion management? A: Myofascial release may sometimes require trigger point injections. However, most concussion cases can be effectively managed with muscle energy techniques. In older patients, some form of osteopathic manipulation may be necessary. Q: What are the key anatomy considerations for the neck? A: It is crucial to understand that the neck's complexity extends beyond superficial muscles like the scalenes and deltoids; smaller, deeper muscles also play a significant role in neck function. Q: What are your tips for the Athletic Training Room? A: Prioritize hands-on manipulation therapy and muscle energy techniques with athletes, rather than solely relying on stationary bikes or treadmills for warm-up.
