The chronicity of the injury is an important factor that influences the ability to technically repair the PM tendon. Acute PM tendon ruptures can be managed operatively or nonoperatively, with operative repair displaying clinically superior improvements in functional status, isokinetic strength, isometric strength, cosmesis, and the degree of resting deformity.5Dannenbaum J.H.

Muñoz F. Carpintero P. Chronic rupture of the pectoralis major muscle: report of two cases.Acta Orthop Belg. 2005; 71: 107-110PubMed Google Scholar This case report describes the reconstruction of a chronically ruptured PM tendon using an autologous iliotibial band (ITB) graft. The decision to reconstruct the tendon using an autologous ITB graft developed from its availability, ease of harvest, low donor-site morbidity, biocompatibility, and the ability to fashion it into similar band-like dimensions of the PM tendon. A 23-year-old man presented to our clinic with a chief complaint of a right shoulder injury and persistent weakness. The injury occurred 6 months before his initial visit when he experienced a sudden and audible “pop” in his right shoulder during the eccentric phase of a bench press lift. After the swelling and ecchymosis resolved, he was unable to regain his strength, particularly when performing the bench press. Physical examination of the right shoulder revealed an anterior axillary deformity, medial retraction of the PM muscle with simulated contraction, tenderness of the PM tendon insertion, and full passive range of motion (Fig. 1, A). Strength testing showed weakness in scapular protraction (4 of 5) with pain. Adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation strength were normal (5 of 5). He was neurovascularly intact. He was diagnosed with a chronic PM tendon rupture, and treatment options were discussed with him including the potential need for a graft to reconstruct the tendon. The chronic nature of the tear potentially required reconstruction with a free soft-tissue graft, so open reconstruction of the PM tendon using a contralateral autologous ITB graft was planned. He was placed in the beach-chair position, and the right shoulder and chest were prepared, draped, and sealed with an adhesive iodine impregnated drape with the right arm free. The lateral aspect of the contralateral left thigh was also prepared, draped, and sealed with an adhesive iodine impregnated drape for potential ITB graft harvest. A limited incision was made over the anterior shoulder along the deltopectoral interval to expose the PM insertion site for hardware placement. The deltopectoral interval was opened, and the full length of the insertion site on the humerus was identified just lateral to the biceps groove and prepared with a curette. The intervening scar tissue was followed with medial dissection both deep and superficial to mobilize the retracted muscle of the PM. The tendinous portion was essentially absent beyond the muscle, and therefore, tendon reconstruction was required to regain sufficient length to reach the insertion and help grasp the remaining medial musculotendinous tissue. The shoulder wound was packed with antibiotic-soaked laparotomy gauze sponge and our attention turned to the ITB graft harvest site. The autologous ITB graft harvest was performed by sharply longitudinally incising the skin over the lateral aspect of the midthigh and dissecting down through subcutaneous tissue to the level of the facia and the ITB. Then, with long Metzenbaum scissors, we dissected deep and superficially to free the ITB and harvested a central 15-cm-long by 6- to 8-cm-wide free graft. The free ITB graft was folded over the lateral tendon-deficient end of the PM muscle with 5-6 cm of graft covering the anterior and posterior aspects of distal muscle belly (Fig. 2), while the remaining 2 cm of length was used to reconstruct the all-tendinous portion (Fig. 3). Sutures were passed anterior to posterior and back again through the graft and pectoralis muscle to secure the graft to the muscle. Then, with the graft secured to the PM muscle, three double-loaded anchors were inserted equally spaced along the humeral insertion site with one at both the proximal and distal ends of the insertion site. Both limbs of one of the sutures from each of the three anchor locations were passed in simple mattress fashion through the respective site on the folded end of the tendon graft. Then a single limb from each remaining suture of each of the three anchors was passed from lateral to medial and back along the free folded edge of the tendon graft in a locking modified Krackow fashion and the opposite limb was passed posterior to anteriorly at the lateral edge. With the arm adducted and internal rotated, the suture limbs were tensioned and tied. A complete schematic of this technique is displayed in Figure 3. Both surgical wounds were irrigated, closed, and dressed in sterile fashion.Figure 3Schematic of PM reconstruction with the ITB graft. PM, pectoralis major; ITB, iliotibial band.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload Hi-res image Download (PPT) Postoperatively, he was put in a sling immobilizer with a waist strap to keep the arm adducted and internally rotated for 6 weeks. During this time, he progressed with active assisted range of motion of the elbow, wrist, and hand. For weeks 7 and 8, he remained in the sling and was allowed passive supine flexion (in resting internal rotation) to 45 degrees, abduction to 30 degrees, and external rotation to neutral rotation with arm at the side. For weeks 9 and 10, the sling was discontinued and gentle active and active assisted range of motion and isometric strengthening with the arm in resting adduction was allowed. For weeks 11 to 14, we gradually restored shoulder range of motion and progressed to light isotonic PM (in midrange of motion), rotator cuff, biceps and triceps muscle strengthening activities. From week 15 onwards, aggressive range-of-motion exercises were incorporated as necessary and gradual progressive strengthening exercises were followed by sport specific activities. Heavy bench press was discouraged before 6 months postoperatively. In this case, shoulder flexion progressed to 165 degrees at 12 weeks, and he exhibited full range of motion and 5/5 adduction strength at 22 weeks. At 5 months, he was able to return to normal activity. At a two-year follow-up, he stated that the power in his right shoulder was now greater than it was before the injury as measured by his maximum bench press lift. Cosmesis, full functional range of motion, and symmetrical strength with pectoralis weight-training exercises were restored (Fig. 1, B). As per the clinical outcome scale for PM tendon ruptures developed by Bak et al,1Bak K. Cameron E.A. Henderson I.J. Rupture of the pectoralis major: a meta-analysis of 112 cases.Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2000; 8: 113-119Crossref PubMed Scopus (167) Google Scholar “excellent” outcomes are classified as pain free with fully restored range of motion, symmetrical manual adduction strength, no cosmetic complaints, and return to activity without restriction. Our patient met each of these criteria and was thus classified as an excellent outcome. He was able to return to activity with no restrictions as evident by an increase in his prior bench press maximum weight. Manual adduction strength was symmetrical at 22 weeks postoperatively. Donor-site morbidity was unremarkable aside from a 3-inch well-healed scar with some minor hypertrophy. He denied weakness or functional muscle problems such as cramping, pain with exertion, or fatiguability. He denied any problems with the donor site. We describe a successful case of surgically reconstructing a chronic PM rupture with an autologous ITB graft to illustrate the technique and potential for the use of an ITB graft in this setting.

Their clinical outcomes ranked one patient as “excellent” and the other two as “good.” The potential limitations of using an Achilles tendon allograft include exposing patients to a risk of disease transmission and limited incorporation of the graft. Use of an autologous ITB or hamstring graft avoid these complications and may pose a higher benefit-to-risk outcome if donor-site morbidity is minimal. The successful outcomes reported from these cases of PM reconstruction supports their efficacy when primary repair is not viable. We present this case as an alternative technique for chronic PM tendon ruptures with an irreparable tendon. In primary repair, suture anchors are widely accepted for fixation to the bone and were thus used for this reconstruction.14Mooers B.R. Westermann R.W. Wolf B.R.

Our graft measures approximately 15 cm in length (approximately 7.5 cm folded) and 8 cm in height. When folded, 5-6 cm covered the distal muscle belly anteriorly and posteriorly, while the rest of the length (approximately 2 cm) filled the gap. The dual-sided anchorage of the graft to the PM (ie sandwiching the muscle between the two graft flaps) provided exceptional fixation (Fig. 3). The simplicity of this technique eliminated the need to weave fibers together as running the sutures anterior to posterior served effective.
