Pectoralis major (PM) muscle is the powerful dynamic stabiliser of the shoulder that acts as a flexor, adductor and internal rotator. The rupture of the PM tendon is a relatively rare injury that was firstly described in a French boy by Patissier in 1822 and later, in 1861, by Letenneur who reported another similiar case. To date, over 200 cases have been published. In this article we describe the clinical anatomy and the mechanism of injuries of PM and we review the surgical procedures for acute and chronic ruptures.
胸大肌是肩部强大的动态稳定器,具有屈肌、内收肌和内旋肌的作用。胸大肌腱断裂是一种相对罕见的损伤,1822年由帕蒂西耶首次在一名法国男孩身上描述,后来在1861年,勒特讷尔报告了另一例类似病例。迄今为止,已发表了200多例病例。在本文中,我们描述了胸大肌的临床解剖结构和损伤机制,并回顾了急性和慢性断裂的手术方法。
