Purpose Although guidelines have changed regarding federally mandated concussion practices since their inception, little is known regarding the implementation of such guidelines and the resultant continuum of care for youth athletes participating in recreational or organized sports who incur concussions. Furthermore, data regarding the role of speech-language pathologists in the historic postconcussion care are lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the experiences of young adults with history of sports-related concussion as it related to injury reporting and received follow-up care. Method Participants included 13 young adults with history of at least one sports-related concussion across their life span. We implemented a mixed-methods design to collect both quantitative and qualitative information through structured interviews. Participants reported experiencing 42 concussions across the life span—26 subsequent to sports injuries. Results Twenty-three concussions were reported to a parent or medical professional, 14 resulted in a formal diagnosis, and participants received initial medical care for only 10 of the incidents and treatment or services on only two occasions. Participants reported concussions to an athletic trainer least frequently and to parents most frequently. Participants commented that previous experience with concussion reduced the need for seeking treatment or that they were unaware treatments or supports existed postconcussion. Only one concussion incident resulted in the care from a speech-language pathologist. Conclusion The results of the study reported herein shed light on the fidelity of sports-related concussion care management across time. Subsequently, we suggest guidelines related to continuum of care from injury to individualized therapy.

Background: Traumatic internal degloving injury i.e. Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) develops as a result of blunt trauma with tangential shear forces. In the pediatric population, these have been described only as small case reports till date. Purpose: To describe the largest case series of lower extremity Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) in the pediatric population, to determine its etiology (especially its relationship to sports), treatment and outcomes. Methods: Retrospective study of patients <18 years presenting to a tertiary children’s hospital with MLL between 2013-2019. Demographics, clinical data, imaging features, treatment and outcomes data was collected. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted. Results: 38 patients (21 males, 17 females) having MLL with mean age 14.6 years were classified into 2 groups- hip/thigh MLL (9 patients) and lower leg MLL (29) (Table 1.1). Most common cause of lower leg MLL was sports injury (79%). Most commonly implicated sports in MLL were football and baseball(24% each). Associated injuries were seen in 9 (23%) patients. Radiographs done in 58% of patients showed no bony abnormalities. Imaging modality of choice was MRI for lower leg MLLs (72%) and US for hip/thigh MLL (67%)(Fig.1.2). MLL size was larger for hip/thigh MLL (168 cm3) as compared to leg MLL (38.6 cm3). 25 (65.8%) of MLLs were treated with conservative management,12 (31.5%) with minimally invasive methods and 1(2.6%) needed surgical management. 2/9 (22.2%) of the associated injuries required operative management. 2/38 (5%) patients were given prophylactic antibiotics. 72.4% Lower leg MLLs were treated with conservative management while intervention was needed more in hip/thigh MLLs (55.6%). Patients returned to activities at 14.3 weeks for hip/thigh MLL;9.1 weeks for lower leg MLL. 24 patients with adequate documentation demonstrated lower extremity functional score (LEFS) and pain level of 74/80 (92.5%) and 0.7/10 respectively at mean 12.5 months follow-up. Leg cellulitis was seen as a complication in one patient. Conclusion: The largest case series on MLL exclusively in the pediatric population suggests that they are more common in knee/leg region region and usually caused by sports injuries which is notably different as compared to adult population. Most pediatric injuries are treated conservatively, especially sports related MLLs. Although return to activities takes longer for hip/thigh injuries, majority of patients regain satisfactory functionality post-injury. [Table: see text][Figure: see text]
