Abstract
In brief Allowing a player to return to competition too soon after a concussion may result in further injury or even death. By carefully evaluating and monitoring an athlete who sustains a concussion, then classifying the concussion by severity, the physician can determine whether the athlete can safely return to play.Keywords
