Concussions are common

US military and traumatic brain injury

  • 320,000 blast-related TBIs from wars in Iraq and

Afghanistan (MacDonald CL et al. Detection of Blast-Related Traumatic Brain

Injury in US Military Personnel, New England Journal of Medicine 2011.)

  • mTBI accounts for 80-90% of TBI in civilian and

military populations (Levin HS and Diaz-Arrastia RR. Lancet Neurol

2015; 14: 506-17.)

Concussion numbers increasing

Marin JR et al. Trends in visits for traumatic brain injury to emergency departments in the United States. JAMA. 2014 May 14;311(18):1917-9.

Concussion legislation

  • California: Education Code 49475 (effective

1/2012)

  • 1. Student athletes and guardians sign a concussion

information form yearly

  • 2. Athlete suspected of having concussion removed at

time of injury for the rest of the day

  • 3. Athlete can return only after cleared by healthcare

professional trained in evaluation and management

  • f concussion

Case #1

  • 40 y/o woman presents to your office for ER follow-up

two days after bike accident.

  • Slid out while crossing streetcar tracks on wet city

streets.

  • No loss of consciousness.
  • Taken by ambulance to ER.
  • Had trauma work-up including head CT (-).
  • Has headache, fatigue, dizziness, light sensitivity.

Trouble staying focused at work, sleeping more than usual.

  • Normal neck and neurologic exam.

Concussion definition

  • Type of mild traumatic brain injury
  • Blow to head, neck, body  force to head
  • Rapid onset of neurologic impairment
  • Symptoms usually resolve in weeks, spontaneously,

but in some cases can be prolonged.

  • May or may not include loss of consciousness.
  • CT and MRI studies are normal

Clinic concussion evaluation

  • History of injury
  • PMHx ADHD, anxiety,

depression, head injury

  • Clinical status: improving or

worsening since time of injury?

  • Neck and neurological exam

  • Age > 60
  • GCS < 14 initially or < 15

two hours post injury

  • Vomiting more than once
  • Seizure
  • LOC
  • Focal neuro deficit
  • Suspected skull fx
  • Severe headache
  • Decreased alertness after

initially lucid

  • High velocity injury (hit by

car, fall from height)

  • Comorbid illness

(cirrhosis, diabetes, immunosuppression)

  • Pregnancy

Adapted from Levin HS and Diaz-Arrastia RR. Lancet Neurol 2015; 14: 506-17, using NICE 2014 and 2008 American College of Emergency Physicians/US CDC policy statement.

How severe is my concussion?

  • Concussion grading is retrospective

– Historically concussions were graded on the sideline based on amnesia and LOC at time of injury.

– American Academy of Neurology, 1997 – Cantu, 2001

– Studies have shown these factors not to be predictive

  • f recovery.
  • Only when the athlete recovers can you tell how

severe the concussion was

Symptom resolution

  • Athletes become asymptomatic in 1-2 weeks

(Williams RM et al. Sports Med. 2015 Mar 28.)

  • Recovery in athletes may be faster than in others

(Levin HS and Diaz-Arrastia RR. Lancet Neurol 2015; 14: 506-17.)

  • Pre-existing neuropsychiatric disorder associated

with symptoms > 3 months (Levin HS and Diaz-Arrastia RR.

Lancet Neurol 2015; 14: 506-17.)

How would you treat this patient?

  • 1. Order urgent head CT to rule out subtle post

traumatic bleed, return to clinic after CT.

  • 2. Rest from work and biking, return to clinic 1

week.

  • 3. Return to work but rest from biking, return to

clinic in a month.

  • 4. Return to work and biking.

Concussion treatment

  • Cognitive rest
  • Physical rest
  • Medication

– Tylenol – Ibuprofen after first 72 hours

  • No driving
  • No alcohol
  • Education

Return to school/work progression

No school. OK to do light reading, little bit TV, drawing, cooking as long as doesn’t worsen symptoms. 15 min cognitive activity at a time. Return to full day of school.

http://www.chop.edu/service/concussion-care- for-kids/returning-to-school.html

30 min schoolwork at a time until can do 1-2 hours. Return to ½ day of school.

Physical rest

  • Evidence sparse on benefit of rest
  • Management largely guided by expert opinion
  • No same-day return to play
  • Once concussion symptoms have resolved

gradually return to play

– Irrigation with saline – 1 or more of the following:

  • Debridement or excision
  • f degenerative meniscus

tears

  • Removal loose bodies,

chondral flaps, bone spurs

Surgery vs PT for meniscal tear and OA

  • Multicenter RCT
  • 351 patients with meniscus tear + OA
  • Meniscus sxs (clicking, popping, catching, giving

way, joint line pain, pain with twisting)

  • Avg. age 60 years
  • 50% men, 50% women
  • Primary outcome = change in WOMAC physical-

function score between groups at 6 mo

5/22/2015 18

Interventions

  • Control (PT)

– Usually 6 weeks – 3-stage program

  • APAP, NSAIDs,

intraarticular steroid injections as needed

  • Arthroscopic partial

meniscectomy (APM)

– Trim damaged meniscus back to stable rim – Remove loose cartilage and bone

  • PT protocol
  • APAP, NSAIDs,

intraarticular steroid injections as needed

Conclusions

  • 30% crossed over from PT to APM at 6mo

– These people had WOMACs that didn’t improve until crossover

  • No sig difference in adverse events
  • PT and APM are reasonable options with similar
  • utcomes for these patients (with allowed cross
  • ver if not achieving relief with PT)
  • Starting with conservative approach is reasonable

Osteoarthritis with meniscus tear

  • Meniscus tear is part of the natural history of osteoarthritis
  • Treat as osteoarthritis initially
  • Imaging: Start with xray, MRI if exam c/w meniscus tear and

not improving with PT

  • Consider arthroscopic meniscus surgery if PT, medications,

injections not helping or if patient prefers surgical treatment

http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/07/20/rock-paper-scissors-shoot/

Caveats: Who to Refer

  • Younger patients
  • Bucket handle meniscus tears

– Knee locked due to meniscus blocking joint movement

  • Mechanical symptoms: locking, catching
  • Failure of nonoperative knee OA treatment

Differential diagnosis?

Rotator cuff disease in primary care

  • The 3rd most frequent musculoskeletal reason

patients present to the office

  • The most common cause of shoulder pain in

patients in the US primary care settings

slide-23
SLIDE 23

5/22/2015 23

What is rotator cuff disease?

  • Impingement
  • Tendinitis/tendinopathy
  • Partial thickness tear
  • Full thickness tear

Rotator cuff disease treatment

Most do well with conservative treatment

  • Impingement
  • Tendinitis, tendinopathy
  • Partial tear
  • Full thickness tear  Consider ortho referral.

PT +/- Injection +/- Medication

Rotator cuff surgery outcomes

Better if (acute) full thickness rotator cuff tears fixed earlier than later

  • Smaller tear size associated with better
  • utcome (Cofield RH et al. Surgical repair of chronic rotator cuff tears. JBJS

2001.)

  • Less fatty infiltration and muscle atrophy

associated with better outcome (Gladstone JN et al. Fatty

infiltration and atrophy of the rotator cuff do not improve after rotator cuff repair and correlate with poor functional outcome. AJSM 2007.)
