This new edition reflects the explosion of knowledge in basic science and clinical care for athletes with mild traumatic brain injury or
concussion. Interest in management and methodology for making diagnoses and improving the clinical outcomes have changed
dramatically. All U.S. states have laws dictating how sports concussion patients are cared for and require return to play decisions be
coordinated with best practice methods. Epidemiology, classification, and biology of sports concussion, as well as, brain imaging,
assessment tests, neuropsychological measures, and management strategies are covered. Illustrative clinical cases, correlative
examples, and historical insights are featured.
Julian E. Bailes, MD, is a nationally recognized leader in neurosurgery, with special emphasis on brain tumors and the impact of brain injury on
brain function. He is Surgical Director at NorthShore Neurological Institute and Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at NorthShore
University HealthSystem in Evanston, Illinois. Dr. Bailes was a founding member and director of the Brain Injury Research Institute, which focuses
on the study of traumatic brain injuries and their prevention. His research has been instrumental in the understanding of the clinical evidence of
chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive degenerative disease found in individuals who have been subjected to multiple
concussions and other forms of head injury.
Previously, Dr. Bailes served for 11 years as Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at West Virginia University School of
Medicine where he specialized in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of cerebrovascular disease, stroke and traumatic brain injury. He was the
primary treating physician of Randal McCloy Jr., the only survivor among 13 miners trapped in the 2006 Sago Mine explosion in West
Virginia—the longest period of time any survivor has been trapped underground in the United States.
As a national authority in neurosurgery, Dr. Bailes served on the NASA Crew Protection Work Group for the Orion Mars-Lunar Mission. Since
1994, he has been a neurological consultant to the NFL Players’ Association (NFLPA), which has supported research on the effects of head
injuries on retired professional athletes. He is the Medical Director of the Center for Study of Retired Athletes based at the University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill; Medical Director of Pop Warner Football; and an adviser to the NCAA.
Dr. Bailes has over 170 scientific peer-reviewed publications or book chapters concerning various aspects of neurological surgery and brain injury,
including five books on neurological disease. Additionally, he performs editorial duties for a number of medical journals. Dr. Bailes has been
honored as one of the nation’s best surgeons for 10 consecutive years in US News & World Report’s “America’s Best Doctors” and “America’s
Top Surgeons.” He has had numerous appearances on national television programs, including Dr. Oz, Good Morning America and NBC Nightly
News, and has most recently been recognized as a 2014 “Chicago Top Neurosurgeon” by Chicago Magazine.
Dr. Brian Sindelar received his medical degree from the University of Illinois, Chicago in May 2012. During medical school, he participated in
Traumatic Brain injury Research through Hines Veterans Affairs Hospital with a poster presentation at the Federal Interagency for TBI Conference
in Washington D.C. Dr. Sindelar also volunteered at the local community health clinic, participated in a medical trip to Peru, and assisted within a
committee for curricular reform at his medical college. He was awarded the Tom C. Reeves Memorial Award for “outstanding
leadership/representation, volunteerism, and strength of character” during his finals years as a medical student. He was commissioned as a 2nd
Lieutenant in the United States Army while receiving the Health Professionals Scholarship during medical school. Upon graduation, he was
promoted to Captain. He began his neurosurgery residency at University of Florida in July 2012 and is scheduled to finish in 2019.
