Variability in the Vascularity of the Pectoralis Major Muscle

The Journal of Otolaryngology, 2003
Although the pectoralis major muscle has been the subject of numerous anatomic studies over the past 20 years, there remains a high complication rate for pedicled pectoralis musculocutaneous flaps. In this report, angiograms of 43 pectoralis major muscles were studied to assess the vascular territories of its three arterial supplies: lateral thoracic ...

Sonographic Evaluation of Injuries to the Pectoralis Muscles

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2005
Our aim was to show the application of high-resolution sonography for grading and defining athletic and nonathletic injuries to the pectoralis muscles.Sonography provides dynamic high-resolution imaging for the diagnosis and grading of injuries to the pectoralis muscles.

[Pectoralis muscles].

Gegenbaurs morphologisches Jahrbuch, 1983
Origins, length, and insertion zones of the pectoralis muscles are described. The pocket of the pectoralis major and the square area of these muscles and some variations (Mm. sternales and the muscular arch) are included.

The composite structure of quail pectoralis muscle

Journal of Morphology, 1992
AbstractThe twitch fibers of the quail pectoralis muscle were found to have one neuromuscular junction each, located in the middle third of the fiber. The length of isolated fibers varied between 8.8 and 33.2 mm, with mean and median values of 16 and 15.6 mm, respectively.

Unusual attachment of the pectoralis minor muscle

Clinical Anatomy, 2005
The authors report a presumably unusual bony attachment of the pectoralis minor muscle in an adult cadaver. The specimen's left pectoralis minor had no attachment to the coracoid process of the scapula but attached directly to the fibrous capsule of the glenohumeral joint.

Unusual pectoralis major muscle: The chondroepitrochlearis

Anatomical Science International, 2008
Presented herein is a case of an extremely rare muscle in the pectoral region. It involved an accessory muscular slip originating from the pectoralis major and inserting onto the medial epicondyle of the humerus and the medial intermuscular septum. According to the literature this muscle is defined as chondroepitrochlearis.

Ruptures of the pectoralis major muscle

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1992
We evaluated 12 patients with 14 ruptures of the pectoralis major muscle to compare surgical and con servative management of this injury. Because 9 of the injuries occurred while weight lifting, we performed an anatomic study on human hemithorax specimens dur ing a simulated bench press to determine the mecha nism of this rare occurrence.

Closed Injuries of the Pectoralis Major Muscle

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1980
Direct and indirect trauma can cause injury to various portions of the pectoralis major muscle in varying degrees. Sprains and partial tears of the pectoralis major muscle are not uncommon. Surgical repair in acute injuries can often produce excellent results in selected patients.

The Effect of Pectoralis Muscle Training in Tetraplegic Subjects

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1989
Abstract We have previously shown that subjects with traumatic tetraplegia use the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major to expire actively. To determine if we could improve the expiratory function of these subjects, we studied six patients in whom the pectoralis major was trained by repetitive, strenuous, isometric contractions ...
