Innervation of the Pectoralis Major Muscle
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2012Owing to the diverse application of the pectoralis major muscle (Pmaj) in reconstructive surgery, with special reference to its safe and functional transfer, a precise knowledge of its nerve supply becomes mandatory. The aim of the present study was to investigate its innervations.A total of 30 specimens of pectoral regions pertaining to 15 embalmed ...

Encapsulated thymoma metastasizing to a pectoralis major muscle
The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2002An extensive review of the literature suggests that ours is the first case of encapsulated thymoma metastasizing to a skeletal muscle. A 43-year-old man underwent thymothymectomy for encapsulated Masaoka's stage I thymoma. Four years after complete resection, the tumor metastasized to the left pectoralis major muscle.

Aplasia of pectoralis major muscle and renal anomalies
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1989AbstractWe describe two patients with aplasia of the pectoralis major muscle and renal anomalies. We think such an association, which has been reported previously, represents a new congenital malformation, probably not a syndrome but an acro‐pectoro‐renal field defect.

Pectoralis major muscle free flap in rat model
Microsurgery, 1994AbstractThe rat pectoralis muscle can serve as a vascularized, innervated muscle flap model. The muscle, consisting of superficialis and profundus portions, is supplied by separate neurovascular systems. The vessels to pectoralis profundus (averaging 0.3 mm in diameter) can be taken in continuity with the axillary vessels (averaging 11 mm in diameter),

Total Rupture of Pectoralis Major Muscle in Athletes
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1984Total rupture of the pectoralis major muscle is rare. It may follow a severe trauma or strenuous athletic exercise or performance. Five cases of total rupture of the pectoralis major muscle treated in athletes are reported. Two of them had made an extremely exerted effort in weight lifting, one was injured during a parachute landing, one was tackled in

Delayed Repair of a Ruptured Pectoralis Major Muscle
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1975A repair of the pectoralis major avulsion injury to the tendinous insertion into the humerus was successfully performed 6 months after the initial injury. The critical clinical observation was the presence of some intact tendon. In order to properly test for the presence of this tendon, it is necessary to abduct the arm so an attenuated band will be ...

Treatment of Pectoralis Major Muscle Ruptures.
Bulletin of the Hospital for Joint Disease (2013), 2016Injuries to the pectoralis major muscle are relatively rare but result in pain, weakness, cosmetic deformity and in many cases, inability to return to previous levels of function. The most common cause of this injury is bench-pressing, as it places the muscle fibers in a position of mechanical disadvantage while under heavy load.
