Pectoralis major (PM) ruptures, though uncommon, are increasing. This case details a young male
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Sports Medicine
- Musculoskeletal Injuries
Background:
- Pectoralis major (PM) ruptures are infrequent but rising injuries.
- These injuries often occur during strenuous physical activity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of pectoralis major rupture in a young male weightlifter.
- To detail the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and surgical management of a PM rupture.
- To analyze the mechanism of injury using video evidence.
Main Methods:
- Clinical diagnosis of pectoralis major rupture.
- Confirmation via imaging studies.
- Surgical repair using suture anchors to reinsert the tendon to the humerus.
Main Results:
- Successful surgical reinsertion of the pectoralis major tendon.
- Excellent patient outcomes at one-year follow-up.
- Detailed video analysis of the injury mechanism during a 200kg bench press.
Conclusions:
- Surgical repair with suture anchors is effective for pectoralis major ruptures.
- Video documentation provides valuable insight into the common injury mechanism.
- Early diagnosis and surgical intervention lead to favorable patient recovery.

Clinical Manifestations:
Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
