چکیده
Two patients presented with pain in the arm and a radiographic lesion of the upper humerus which warranted surgical exploration and excision biopsy. In both cases the pathology was inflammatory and involved the insertion of pectoralis major. Tendinitis of the pectoralis major with an associated lesion of the humerus has not previously been described.

متن کاملThe Anomalous Insertion of Pectoralis Minor (Le Double Type III): A case report
Introduction: The pectoralis minor muscle originates from third to fifth ribs of the chest wall and inserts at the medial side of the coracoid process of Scapula. It contributes to the abduction of the scapulothoracic joint and downward movement of the shoulder. The anomalous insertion of pectoralis minor beyond the coracoid process is known since the 19th century. Aim of the study: To report ...
متن کاملThe pectoralis major tendon as a reference for restoring humeral length and retroversion with hemiarthroplasty for fracture.
The success of anatomic reattachment of the tuberosities in proximal humeral fractures, treated with hemiarthroplasty, correlates with functional results. The purpose of this study was to determine the value of the upper edge of the pectoralis major insertion (PMI) as a landmark to establish the proper height and version of hemiarthroplasty implanted for proximal humeral fractures. Twenty cadav...
متن کاملRepositioning of the humeral tuberosities can be guided by pectoralis major insertion
In complex proximal humerus fractures, positioning of the tuberosities can be a challenge. This study demonstrates the constant angle between the pectoralis major (PM) and the medial lip of the bicipital groove (BG) on the horizontal axial plane. This angle can be used to determine the rotation, as well as the positioning of the tuberosities, when planning a hemiarthroplasty or a reconstruction...
