Acute Pectoralis Major Rupture Captured on Video.

ABSTRACT: Pectoralis major (PM) ruptures are uncommon injuries, although they are becoming more frequent. We report a case of a PM rupture in a young male who presented with axillar pain and absence of the anterior axillary fold after he perceived a snap while lifting 200?kg in the bench press. Diagnosis of PM rupture was suspected clinically and confirmed with imaging studies. The patient was treated surgically, reinserting the tendon to the humerus with suture anchors. One-year follow-up showed excellent results. The patient was recording his training on video, so we can observe in detail the most common mechanism of injury of PM rupture.

Exact moment of tendon of pectoralis major muscle rupture captured on video.

Project description:A powerlifting athlete ruptured his left tendon of the pectoralis major muscle while attempting to lift 160 kg in a Brazilian bench press championship. The injury seemed to occur in the concentric phase of exercise; however, the more common mechanism of rupture is during the eccentric phase. The tendon was reinserted to the humerus 3 weeks later with screws and washers. The athlete returned to competitive activities after 5 months. One year later he lifted 170 kg and won the national championship.

Pectoralis major muscle rupture repair: technique using unicortical buttons.

Project description:Over the past few decades, there has been increased awareness of pectoralis major muscle injuries necessitating further evaluation of management options and, in particular, surgical repair. Injury typically occurs when an eccentric load is applied to the muscle, such as with bench pressing, and failure usually occurs through the tendon. Although nonoperative management is sometimes appropriate, given the injury's propensity for young, active male patients, surgical intervention is often warranted. Because the injury typically occurs at the muscle-tendon interface, surgery focuses on repair of the avulsed tendon into its anatomic attachment site. We describe the use of a unicortical suture button to repair the ruptured tendon. This technique achieves the goals of strong fixation and anatomic repair of the tendon back into its native footprint.

Rupture of the pectoralis major muscle: surgical treatment in athletes.

Project description:Pectoralis major tendon rupture is a relatively rare injury, resulting from violent, eccentric contraction of the muscle. Over 50% of these injuries occur in athletes, classically in weight-lifters during the 'bench press' manoeuvre. We present 13 cases of distal rupture of the pectoralis major muscle in athletes. All patients underwent open surgical repair. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to confirm the diagnosis in all patients. The results were analysed using (1) the visual analogue pain score, (2) functional shoulder evaluation and (3) isokinetic strength measurements. At the final follow-up of 23.6 months (14-34 months), the results were excellent in six patients, good in six and one had a poor result. Eleven patients were able to return to their pre-injury level of sports. The mean time for a return to sports was 8.5 months. The intraoperative findings correlated perfectly with the reported MRI scans in 11 patients and with minor differences in 2 patients. We wish to emphasise the importance of accurate clinical diagnosis, appropriate investigations, early surgical repair and an accelerated rehabilitation protocol for the distal rupture of the pectoralis major muscle as this allows complete functional recovery and restoration of full strength of the muscle, which is essential for the active athlete.

Surgical repair of acute on chronic seven-year pectoralis major rupture near the distal myotendinous junction: A case report.

Project description:The surgical fixation of an acute on chronic pectoralis major rupture with inciting injury 7 years prior has never been reported in the literature. Thus, we report the first case of an acute on chronic pectoralis major rupture repair in an active male patient who underwent successful surgical intervention and review the pathophysiology and treatment of pectoralis major tears.

A case report of a rupture of the musculotendinous junction of the pectoralis major in an athlete.

Project description:IntroductionThe pectoralis major muscle (PM) is a large muscle on the anterior chest wall. The rupture of the PM is a rare entity in literature and most incidences had been reported frequently in weight lifting and contact sports. Acute repair of PM rupture yielded better outcome as compared to non-operative treatment in active individuals who wish to return to their sports.Case reportWe presented a case of a champion in bodybuilding who lifted a heavy weigh during his routine exercises, which caused a rupture in the musculotendinous junction of the left pectoralis major muscle.DiscussionAs it is rare to meet ruptures in this site of pectoralis major, we decided to insert anchors into the humeral bone (as in avulsions and tendon's tears), and to duplicate the suturing levels in multiple directions (as in muscular belly ruptures).ConclusionOur aim here is to confirm that the rupture of the musculotendinous junction of the pectoralis major muscle is rare and difficult to deal, but the acute surgical treatment by inserting anchors into the humerus, and duplicating the suturing layers in multiple directions can give good results especially in athletes.

Compartment Syndrome of the Flexor Compartment of the Arm Secondary to Pectoralis Major Tendon Rupture.

Project description:Case. Compartment syndrome following muscle rupture is a rare entity with few mentions in the literature. We present a case of pectoralis major rupture in a 38-year-old male that evolved into compartment syndrome of the anterior compartment of the arm. Rupture of the pectoralis is uncommon and most often occurs during weight lifting. Compartment syndrome secondary to this injury is extremely uncommon, with only one reported case in the pectoralis major itself and several cases of biceps compartment syndrome. Due to the potentially devastating consequences of a missed compartment syndrome, it is imperative that physicians maintain a high level of suspicion in patients with these unusual injuries presenting with severe swelling and pain.

Expression data from chicken Pectoralis major

Project description:Development of Pectoralis major has been investigated through gene expression analysis in comparing animals receiving a restricted diet in P and Ca (NC), a normal diet with sufficient level of P and Ca (PC), and a restricted diet supplemented with phytase (Phy1000). We used microarrays (ChiGene-1_0-st) to evaluate gene expression underlying pathways affectd by the diet and/or the phytase supplementation and to identify classes of differentially expressed genes.

Pectoralis major repair with cortical button technique.

Project description:Pectoralis major tendon ruptures can lead to significant functional deficits that affect high-level athletic and labor-intensive activities. In active populations operative repair of the ruptured pectoralis major tendon has shown significant advantages over nonoperative treatment. We describe a novel surgical technique for pectoralis major repair with tension button fixation. This study included 12 recreational athletes and 2 professional athletes. The initial results were measured subjectively after a minimum of 6 months by the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, and the ability to return to the patient's sport at a preinjury level. Objectively, strength was measured with resisted horizontal adduction of the arm for both repaired and contralateral sides. Of the 12 recreational patients, 8 returned to their sport at preinjury levels, and the 2 professional athletes returned to their sport at full capacity in the National Football League. The mean Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score was 87, and the mean American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores were 99 for both the operative and contralateral sides. Isokinetic strength testing showed no significant differences between the operative and nonoperative sides. Patients with pectoralis major tendons repaired with the proposed tensioned cortical button technique had excellent results. This new technique provides a reliable method of repair in an efficient and safe manner.

Pectoralis Major Ruptures: Tear Patterns and Patient Demographic Characteristics.

Project description:BackgroundThe pectoralis major (PM) is made up of multilaminar muscle segments that form a complex insertion on the proximal humerus; it is composed of an anterior and a posterior tendon layer. The tear patterns and patient characteristics of operatively treated PM ruptures in the general population remain poorly understood.PurposeTo comprehensively report the demographic characteristics of patients who are clinically diagnosed with structurally significant PM ruptures and to describe PM tear patterns identified during surgery.Study designCase series; Level of evidence, 4.MethodsA retrospective analysis of surgically treated PM tears was performed for a single-surgeon case series between January 1, 2003, and November 1, 2017. Patient demographic characteristics, classification of tear pattern, and treatment (repair/reconstruction) were recorded.ResultsA total of 104 surgical cases of PM tendon rupture were identified; 100 patients underwent primary repair and 4 underwent dermal allograft reconstruction. All patients were male, with a mean age of 36.5 ± 9.2 years. Chronic tears (>6 weeks old) accounted for 63.6% of surgical cases, and 96% (n = 100) of tears occurred at or between the musculotendinous junction and tendinous insertion. A partial-thickness, complete-width tear of the posterior tendon layer at this same location was the most common tear pattern identified.ConclusionPM ruptures occurred almost exclusively at or between the musculotendinous junction and tendinous insertion, with predominant involvement of the posterior tendon layer. Chronic tears can be safely treated with primary repair in the vast majority of cases.
