Preface

It has been nearly a decade since Drs Meehan and Micheli were guest editors of an issue of Clinics in Sports Medicine dedicated entirely to sport-related concussion (SRC). It is an honor to follow these giants in their respective fields and provide an update on a condition that continues to impact millions of athletes annually in the United States. Recent data utilizing emergency department visits estimate that 1.0 to 1.8 million SRCs occur each year in individuals 18 years old and younger, with approximately 400,000 of these injuries occurring in high-school athletes.
