Chronic Pectoralis Major Rupture Reconstruction With Interpositional Acellular Dermal Allograft

Outcomes After Dermal Allograft Reconstruction of Chronic or Subacute Pectoralis Major Tendon Ruptures

Background Avoiding delay in the surgical management of pectoralis major (PM) ruptures optimizes outcomes. However, this is not always possible, and when a tear becomes chronic or when a subacute tear has poor tissue quality, a graft can facilitate reconstruction. Purpose The primary aim was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of PM reconstruction with dermal allograft augmentation for chronic ...

Allograft reconstruction of chronic pectoralis major tendon ruptures.

In chronic pectoralis tendon tears, primary repair may not be possible and allograft reconstruction may be required. The goal of this study was to report the authors' experience with chronic pectoralis major tendon reconstructions using an Achilles tendon allograft in three military patients. Three consecutive patients presenting with chronic, complete pectoralis major tendon tears underwent re...

Anterior Capsule Reconstruction Technique With an Acellular Dermal Allograft

An irreparable subscapularis may have a debilitating influence on glenohumeral joint biomechanics. Traditional treatment approaches are focused on tendon transfers, among which the most popular are pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi transfers. However, these techniques present significant retear rates, possible nerve injuries, and altered biomechanics. Other techniques like tibialis anterior...

Near Total Pharyngolaryngectomy and Reconstruction with Interpositional Tubed Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap

Near total laryngectomy can be safely combined with partial or subtotal pharyngectomies when the disease is lateralized rendering the interarytenoid joint and the contralateral cricoarytenoid joint free of tumor. A case of post radiotherapy recurrent carcinoma of the posterior pharyngeal wall which could be salvaged by a circumferential pharyngectomy combined with a near total laryngectomy is r...
