Pectoralis major muscle rupture in windsurfing
Board sailing (windsurfing) has become a popular water recreational activity. However, there is little in the medical literature concerning musculoskeletal complications resulting from participation in this sport. We present the first reported case of pectoralis major rupture sustained during board sailing. The patient was initially misdiagnosed, which
