Pectoralis Major Muscle Injuries: Evaluation and Management

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2005
Pectoralis major muscle tears are relatively rare injuries that primarily occur while lifting weights, particularly when doing a bench press. Complete ruptures are most commonly avulsions at or near the humeral insertion. Ruptures at the musculo-tendinous junction and intramuscular tears usually are caused by a direct blow.

Pectoralis major muscle defect and Poland complex

American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1979
AbstractPectoralis major muscle defect (PMD) was diagnosed in 27 infants from a series of 599, 109 live births in South America (1/22,189). In all 27 cases the PMD was unilateral, mainly affecting the right side (20/27), and there were more male (19/27) than female cases. No familial cases and no parental consanguinity were recorded.

Injuries to the Pectoralis Major Muscle

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2010
Injuries to the pectoralis major muscle are relatively infrequent but result in pain, weakness, and deformity of the upper extremity. The usual injury mechanism is during eccentric shortening of the pectoralis major under heavy load, such as when performing a bench press exercise. The ability to detect and treat a pectoralis major rupture is important

Rupture of the Pectoralis Major Muscle

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1997
Correct diagnosis of complete or partial ruptures of the pectoralis major muscle complex is important because of the muscle's vital role in shoulder function. Three case reports are used here to support a discussion of diagnosis and treatment. The diagnosis can usually be made with a history and physical exam, but magnetic resonance imaging can help ...

The Segmental Pectoralis Major Muscle Flap

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1985
A function-sparing pectoralis major muscle flap is presented. The flap is a medially based segmental transfer of a single intercostal portion of the pectoralis major muscle supplied by a single perforating branch of the internal thoracic artery. The segmental terminal nerve distribution of the medial and lateral pectoral nerves permits preservation of ...

Retromammary Tumours of the Pectoralis Major Muscle

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1973
Attention is drawn to the occurrence of a variety of tumours in the pectoralis major muscle or its deep fascial sheath. When these tumours lie deep to the female breast, difficulties in diagnosis and management occur. Their incidence in a large personal series is given, and the incidence in the case histories of the Soft Tissue Registry is also quoted.
