Reconstruction of Chronic, Retracted Pectoralis Major Tendon Tear With Achilles Tendon Allograft

Myotendinous junction tears of the pectoralis major are occurring more frequently and discrepancies exist between intraoperative and radiographic assessments

“… 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 Recently, a novel technique for Achilles tendon allograft supplementation was described, citing larger graft size and superior biomechanical strength as advantages. 20 In the present study, no difference was observed in the proportion undergoing allograft supplementation between those with MTJ and humeral avulsions tears, respectively ( P = .680). Future studies are needed to discern whether the use of allograft supplementation influences clinical outcomes following MTJ and humeral avulsion tears.…”
