Two cases of rupture of the pectoralis major are reported, one caused by excessive tension and direct violence, while the other was a result of direct violence alone. The site of the rupture was at the lateral third portion of the pectoralis major in one and at the musculotendinous junction in the other. Both patients were treated surgically, and regained full function of their shoulders. Review of the literature suggests that surgical repair is generally advisable and more gratifying than conservative management.
报告了两例胸大肌断裂病例，一例由过度张力和直接暴力引起，另一例仅由直接暴力导致。一例的断裂部位在胸大肌外侧三分之一处，另一例在肌腱结合处。两名患者均接受了手术治疗，肩部功能完全恢复。文献回顾表明，手术修复通常是可取的，且比保守治疗更令人满意。
