Abstract

Pectoralis major rupture was historically a rare occurrence, but the incidence is increasing. Most cases occur from indirect trauma in active men aged 20 to 40 years, especially during bench press. Pectoralis major rupture has never been reported in the literature in a woman in this age group. We report the first case of pectoralis major rupture in a young, active woman who underwent successful surgical fixation.
