Abstract

Background: Injuries to the pectoralis major muscle can result in functional limitation. Previous reports on conservative treatment on large tears of the pectoralis major muscle showed inconsistent results with several treatment modalities. The best option to treat this pathology is still under discussion. Methods: A 30 year-old male patient with a large pectoral is major muscle tear was treated with ultrasoundguided EPI® technique once a week and eccentric exercise. Echography study was performed during the follow-up. Functional evaluation was assessed with Tegner scale, the criteria described by Bak et al. and the subjective outcomes described by Anthony et al. Results: Ultrasound scan showed a correct arrangement of muscle fibers. Functional evaluation showed excellent results and at four weeks of treatment, the patient had returned to their level of activity prior to the injury. Conclusion: Treatment with the US-guided EPI® technique on pectoralis major muscle tear resulted in a high improvement in function and a rapid return to the previous level of activity after few sessions. The procedure has proven to be safe with no recurrences at one-year follow-up.
运动员胸大肌的大撕裂。组织内经皮电解法治疗后的结果
背景:胸大肌损伤可导致功能限制。先前关于胸大肌撕裂的保守治疗的报道表明,几种治疗方式的结果不一致。治疗这种病理的最佳选择仍在讨论中。方法:对30岁男性胸大肌撕裂患者进行超声引导下EPI技术治疗,每周1次,配合偏心运动。随访期间进行超声检查。功能评估采用Tegner量表,Bak等人描述的标准和Anthony等人描述的主观结果。结果:超声扫描显示肌纤维排列正确。功能评估结果非常好,治疗四周后,患者恢复到损伤前的活动水平。结论:采用US-guided EPI®技术治疗胸大肌撕裂可显著改善功能,并在几次治疗后迅速恢复到先前的活动水平。该手术已被证明是安全的,在一年的随访中没有复发。
