Utility of the Pectoralis Major Index in the Diagnosis of Structurally Significant Pectoralis Major Tears
BACKGROUND Diagnosis of pectoralis major tears early in the acute phase is important for optimizing surgical repair and outcomes. However, physical examination of pectoralis major injuries can be misleading, often resulting in a potentially detrimental delay in surgical treatment. PURPOSE To establish and validate a quantifiable clinical diagnostic test for structurally significant pectoralis...
متن کاملPectoralis major tears: comparison of surgical and conservative treatment.
OBJECTIVES To compare objective measures of strength and subjective functional outcomes in complete distal pectoralis major tears treated either surgically or non-surgically. METHODS Twenty two pectoralis major tears were included in 21 patients. Ten were surgically repaired and 12 were managed non-surgically. Patients completed a standard questionnaire, and clinical examination and isokineti...
متن کاملSplit Pectoralis Major and Teres Major Tendon Transfers for Reconstruction of Irreparable Tears of the Subscapularis
Isolated ruptures of the subscapularis and anterosuperior rotator cuff lesions are encountered more rarely than supraspinatus or anteroposterior rotator cuff tears. In certain circumstances, reconstruction of the tendon may not be possible due to fatty degeneration and atrophy of the subscapularis muscle or poor tendon quality. Tendon transfer may represent the only surgical option for treatmen...
متن کاملTransfer of pectoralis major for the treatment of irreparable tears of subscapularis: does it work?
Transfer of pectoralis major has evolved as the most favoured option for the management of the difficult problem of irreparable tears of subscapularis. We describe our experience with this technique in 30 patients divided into three groups. Group I comprised 11 patients with a failed procedure for instability of the shoulder, group II included eight with a failed shoulder replacement and group ...
متن کاملOutcome of pectoralis major transfer for the treatment of irreparable subscapularis tears.
BACKGROUND Chronic tears of the subscapularis tendon with or without associated tears of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons may lead to pain and dysfunction of the shoulder. If conservative treatment fails and repair of the musculotendinous unit is impossible, transfer of the pectoralis major tendon can be attempted to substitute for lost subscapularis function. METHODS Twenty-eight ...
