Traumatic Tear of the Latissimus Dorsi Myotendinous Junction

Abstract: A case of a latissimus dorsi myotendinous junction strain in an avid CrossFit athlete is presented. The patient developed acute onset right axillary burning and swelling and subsequent palpable pop with weakness while performing a “muscle up.” Magnetic resonance imaging examination demonstrated a high-grade tear of the right latissimus dorsi myotendinous junction approximately 9 cm proximal to its intact humeral insertion. There were no other injuries to the adjacent shoulder girdle structures. Isolated strain… Show more

“… 2015 Fernandez [ 44 ] Physiological Trained people ( n = 10) Fran: three rounds of thrusters and pull-ups for 21, 15, and 9 repetitions Acute effects Both WODs could be characterized as high intensity workouts, achieving near maximal physiological (e.g., 90–95% of HR max ; blood lactate values > 10 mmol − 1 ) and perceptual responses (e.g., RPE values > 8). Cindy: 20 min of rounds of 5 pull-ups,10 push-ups, and 15 air-squats 2015 Friedman [ 45 ] Injury risk Trained person (n = 1) Magnetic resonance imaging examination demonstrated a high-grade tear of the right latissimus dorsi myotendinous junction.

“…In addition, two case reports offered insight on injury risk. The first case study examined a traumatic tear of the latissimus dorsi myotendinous junction inflicted during the “muscle up” exercise [ 45 ]. This injury usually occurs in the acute configuration of forced abduction and external rotation during resisted contraction.…”

“…7 9 10 Despite these positive findings, several reports postulate the potential risk of musculoskeletal injuries associated with HIFT programmes, more specifically CrossFit training. [11][12][13] Chachula et al reported significant associations between history of prior joint injury and increased prevalence of injury among CrossFit participants 14 ; however, these associations are not exclusive to CrossFit training, as similar correlations have been reported summary box What are the findings?…”

“…Injury of the latissimus dorsi typically occurs in the setting of an acute traumatic event and most commonly involves an avulsion injury of the tendon. The mechanism involved is usually a forceful abduction and external rotation during resisted contraction (37).…”
