The pectoralis
major muscle, or most commonly its tendon that attaches to the humerus, can
rupture. Pectoralis major ruptures are uncommon injuries that occur almost
exclusively in men between the ages of 20 to 50 and usually result from
violent, eccentric contraction of the muscle. Surgery, whether early or
delayed, consistently yields superior results compared with nonsurgical
management. A common method for reattachment of the pectoralis tendon is an
open procedure that requires bone tunnels with high strength suture or the use
of multiple suture anchors.
