AAOS Responds to House Health Care Reform Draft Legislation

IME proposed rule change hearings for WACs


For Orthopedic Surgeons or their related providers who act as team physicians. Governor Gregoire signed into law HB 1824 mandating guidelines for return to play after concussion or head injury. Orthopedic Surgeons or their nurses or PA’s may be asked by coaches to clear student athletes to return to play. They should be aware of these guidelines and the need to know the appropriate evaluation for head injury prior to return to sports. See the following. Here are other informational sites on this topic.: www.cdc.gov or www.biawa.org The latter has pocket guideline and evaluation cards that can be printed for your convenience.
