A New Technique for Repairing Pectoralis Major Muscle Injuries With Cortical Button Fixation
نویسنده
چکیده
Several techniques have been described for the treatment of pectoralis major tendon injuries. Surgical intervention has shown to yield superior clinical results in complete injuries. Without fixation, the patient may have poor functional and cosmetic results. We describe here a new technique for repairing complete ruptures of the pectoralis major tendon back to its insertion onto the humerus. To date, we have had promising results with this technique and believe it may have superior biomechanical properties over other methods of fixation.

Surgical treatment of pectoralis major muscle rupture with adjustable cortical button☆
Objective To assess the tendon reconstruction technique for total rupture of the pectoralis major muscle using an adjustable cortical button. Methods Prospective study of 27 male patients with a mean age of 29.9 (SD = 5.3 years) and follow-up of 2.3 years. The procedure consisted of autologous grafts taken from the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons and an adjustable cortical button. Patient...

Injuries to the pectoralis major muscle are relatively infrequent. The mechanism of injury is usually an eccentric shortening of the pectoralis major under heavy load, such as when performing a bench press exercise. We report a case that presented to us with a history of sudden pain in the left pectoral region while doing heavy bench press exercise. The patient sustained a type III D pectoralis...

Background: The importance of the syndesmosis in ankle stability is well recognized. Numerous means of fixation have been described for syndesmotic injuries including the suture button technique. Significant cost limits the use the commercially available options. We, therefore, designed a cheap and readily available alternative construct. We aim to assess the results of using a novel suture-...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to biomechanically evaluate a new technique of intramedullary cortical button fixation for subpectoral biceps tenodesis and to compare it with the interference screw technique. METHODS We compared intramedullary unicortical button fixation (BicepsButton; Arthrex, Naples, FL) with interference screw fixation (Bio-Tenodesis screw; Arthrex) for subpectoral b...
متن کاملBiomechanical in vitro validation of intramedullary cortical button fixation for distal biceps tendon repair: a new technique.
BACKGROUND Extramedullary cortical button-based fixation for distal biceps tendon ruptures exhibits maximum load to failure in vitro but cannot restore the anatomic footprint and has the potential risk for injury to the posterior interosseous nerve. HYPOTHESIS Double intramedullary cortical button fixation repair provides superior fixation strength to the bone when compared with single extram...
