My Sundays, in the fall, are spent on the Eagles sidelines leading the
team of physicians that are charged with insuring the safety of the NFL
players. What most people are not aware of is that on Fridays I am on the
sidelines of high school football games in South Jersey. The injuries that
I see at the professional level are not different from the ones I see for
the high school athlete. Evaluating those injuries are a bit more
challenging at the high school facilities.
.
Every stadium in the NFL has x-ray available and there are a few venues
that have a MRI to aid in making a rapid diagnosis of a sports-related
injury. After reviewing these studies, I feel more confident in making a
decision whether or not it is safe for that athlete to return to play in
that game. We do not have this diagnostic testing at high school fields.

Most orthopedic surgeons covering high school football games are the only
physician on the sidelines. Even though most sports injuries are
orthopedically related; concussions, shortness of breath and chest pain
are often seen in these athletes. An orthopedic surgeon is qualified to
evaluate these abnormalities but usually not without some anxiety. On the
Eagles sideline during home games we have a team of physicians:
.
Orthopedic Surgeon
Internal Medicine
Spine Specialist
Ophthalmologist
Dentist
Podiatrist
Chiropractor
.
The NFL, in addition, mandates that we have either an ER physician or an
Anesthesiologist that can intubate a player that is not breathing (place a
breathing tube into the trachea), and a Neurosurgeon to aid in concussion
evaluation.
