| Résumé : | Pectoralis Major ruptures normally occur in activities and sports such as powerlifting and American football or rugby. It is a rarely reported phenomena in professional footballers. Surgery is normally considered the choice of management to enable a safe return to play with conservatively managed ruptures often resulting in significant strength deficits. This case report highlights the management of a pectoralis major rupture in a professional footballer. Case presentation A 27-year-old professional footballer sustained a left pectoralis major rupture after falling to the floor. A subsequent MRI reported a 5cm retraction of the pectoralis major tendon from its attachment at the humerus. Following a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon the player underwent a pectoralis major surgical repair. Following surgery, the player underwent a rehabilitation programme under the care of the club physiotherapist. Return to play testing included a handheld dynamometer test, closed kinetic chain upper extremity test and progressive falling activities. The player returned to full contact training after 87 days. Conclusion This case study demonstrates a successful return to professional football following a pectoralis major rupture and supports the notion that surgical repair of these injuries produces a favourable outcome in professional athletes when returning to sport. |
