“…This is in fact false, as a long-term effect of concussion is difficulty in learning. 2 In our ice hockey sample, 60.66% misconceived this statement overall (with 21.31% definite misconception) compared to 66% in the general public sample. Suggesting that ice hockey players’ knowledge of concussion is only marginally better than the general public.…”

Objective: Concussion is a common injury in ice hockey and previous research suggests some misconceptions and unsafe attitudes amongst players. The purpose of this study was to assess sport concussion knowledge, attitudes and the effect of sport concussion history in UK based male ice hockey players across three levels of competition: professional, semi-professional, and amateur. Methods: Sixty-one participants across a number of UK ice hockey teams completed the Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes Survey (RoCKAS) and reviewed a series of statements to assess knowledge (CKI), attitudes (CAI) and misconceptions of concussion. Results: Level of competition and concussion history had no significant effect on CKI or CAI. A positive significant relationship exists between playing experience and CKI and CAI. Statements identified common misconceptions and areas of accurate knowledge regarding concussion symptoms suggesting that male ice hockey players have a higher-level knowledge compared to a sample of the UK general public. Playing experience was associated with increased knowledge and increasingly safe attitudes towards concussion. Conclusion: Despite knowledge relating to loss of consciousness and correct management of symptoms being generally accurate, there are worryingly unsafe attitudes regarding aspects of concussion. Such attitudes may well pose significant threats to player safety and longterm health.

“…Regarding anatomic studies, the increase in articles focused on the hip and head is not surprising given recent advances in hip arthroscopy 1 and the growing awareness of and concern about traumatic brain injuries. 16,32 As medicine moves toward pay-for-performance, the need for high methodological quality in sports medicine literature becomes even more important. 28 To accurately assess orthopaedic outcomes, there must first be wellconstructed trials demonstrating well-accepted measures of surgical success.…”
