Summary
This case study shows Achilles tendon allograft successfully reconstructs chronic pectoralis major muscle ruptures when primary repair fails. The patient regained function with minimal deficits after surgery and rehabilitation.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Sports medicine
- Musculoskeletal research
Background:
- Chronic pectoralis major muscle (PMM) ruptures are challenging to manage.
- Delayed presentation often requires surgical repair with graft augmentation due to tendon retraction and poor tissue quality.
