Reattaching the chest tendon to the arm, and why the timing of this one matters more than most.
Pectoralis Tendon Tear Treatment
The pectoralis major has two heads, and the tendon that attaches them to the upper arm bone tears in a very particular position: the arm extended and rotated outward while the muscle is contracting hard. In practice that is almost always a heavy bench press, at the bottom of the movement. People describe a pop, then weakness, then bruising spreading down the arm and across the chest over the following days, and the contour of the chest often changes visibly. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, performs Pectoralis Tendon Repair, reattaching the tendon to the upper arm bone.
The Rehabilitation Protocol
Ask About a ConsultationThis is the physical therapy protocol the practice gives its own patients after this operation. It is written for the period after surgery, for you and for your therapist, and your own plan is set by Dr. Abbasi at your follow-up.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
How soon do I need to be seen?
It is worth being seen sooner rather than later. The repair is much more straightforward within about three months of the injury, before the torn tendon retracts and scars.
What if it happened longer ago than that?
A repair is often still possible, but it may need a graft to bridge the gap, and that is a bigger operation. It is worth being assessed either way.
When can I bench press again?
Pressing is the last thing to return, and it returns gradually: usually not before six months, and on a schedule set at your follow-ups.
Do you take insurance?
Medicare and most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.To check your plan, call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment.
