Ruptured pectoralis major tendon: A case report on delayed repair with muscle advancement
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.3109/17453679408994625Abstract
A total rupture at the humeral insertion of the pectoralis major tendon was repaired 3 months after the injury by sutures through 3 pairs of drill holes in the crest of the greater tubercle. To unload the sutures and to facilitate early mobilization, the muscle was advanced by fascial detachment in the medial-inferior origin of the muscle. Full mobility was achieved in 1 month and full activity was allowed 1 month later.Downloads
