Case:
A 30-year-old male weightlifter presented after suffering a myotendinous rupture of his latissimus dorsi from heavy weightlifting. Latissimus dorsi injuries are rare, with little to no documented technique in the literature on management, particularly of ruptures through the myotendinous junction of the anatomical muscle. This case report describes the surgical technique, approach, and postoperative management of an acutely avulsed latissimus dorsi using an allograft hamstring tendon to repair the myotendinous junction.
Conclusion:
Allograft hamstring tendon graft augmentation is a viable repair option for patients with latissimus dorsi myotendinous rupture.
