Pectoralis Major Muscle Ruptures
Operative Techniques in Sports Medicine, 2005Rupture of the pectoralis major muscle is a rare injury, with less than 200 reported cases in the literature since its initial description in 1822 by Patissier. The majority of these cases have been documented over the past few years, showing the growing appreciation and awareness of this injury. Injuries are most commonly sustained by young men during
