title: Fieldside management of athletic injuries.
abstract: A physician trained in the management of sports-related injuries should be in attendance at athletic events with a potential for significant injury. These are usually contact sports, particularly football. While many of the expected injuries are orthopedic in nature, the risk of serious injury to the larynx, abdomen, eyes and teeth also exists.
