Rotura del tendón del pectoral mayor: técnica de reparación abierta durante periodo agudo

Resumen

La rotura del tendón del pectoral mayor es considerada una lesión infrecuente en lo descrito en la literatura, pero esa lesión ha tenido un aumento exponencial en sus reportes a partir de los años 90. A continuación, presentamos la resolución quirúrgica de una rotura completa del tendón del pectoral mayor mediante una técnica simple y reproducible en un hombre de 34 años, sometido a una alta demanda física diaria. Tenemos ya publicado diferentes técnicas de reparación en periodo agudo como reconstrucción en lesiones crónicas. Nosotros presentamos una técnica de reparación para rotura aguda que consiste en la reinserción mediante anclas de titanio en su huella insercional mediante una configuración de suturas que forma un constructo estable y resistente, que permita al paciente rehabilitarse en forma precoz y satisfactoria para intentar volver al mismo nivel de actividad pre lesional. Con eso, aportamos al especialista una manera sencilla de enfrentarse y planificar la reparación de ese tipo de lesiones infrecuentes que no siempre estamos acostumbrados a resolver.

Abstract

Pectoralis major tendon rupture is an infrequent injury in what has been described in the literature so far. Lately, an exponential increase in reported cases of this injury has been observed. We present a simple and reproducible surgical technique in a 34 years old male subject to a high daily physical demand. Different techniques have been published for tendon repair during the acute period as well as reconstruction in chronic lesions. We present a technique for acute rupture that consists of the reinsertion by means of titanium anchors in its insertional footprint through a suture configuration that forms a stable and resistant construct, that allows the patient to be rehabilitated in an early and satisfactory manner with the objective to return to the same Level of pre-injury activity. With this we provide the specialist with a simple way to manage the repair of these infrequent injuries.
