TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Concussion and football: a review and editorial JO - Current neurology and neuroscience reports A1 - Abdullah, Kalil G. A1 - Grady, M. Sean A1 - Levine, Joshua M. SP - 535 EP - 535 VL - 15 IS - 4 N2 - The issue of concussion in American football is of substantial interest to players, coaches, fans, and physicians. In this article, we review specific cultural hindrances to diagnosis and treatment of concussion in football. We review current trends in management and identify areas for improvement. We also discuss the obligations that physicians, particularly neurosurgeons and neurologists, have toward brain-injured football players and the larger societal role they may play in helping to minimize football-associated brain injury.
