Objectives:Pectoralis major tendon ruptures are relatively uncommon injuries. The literature is limited to several small case series, the largest containing 24 cases, and systematic reviews. However, still little is known about the demographics of this injury or the outcomes of operative repairs. We present a series of 134 traumatic pectoralis major tendon ruptures, which were treated surgically. This study aims to provide more information on injury demographics and surgical outcomes in order to learn more about making the diagnosis, preferred method of repair, and complications surrounding surgical treatment of both acute and chronic tears.
