Abstract EN
Pectoralis major (PM) ruptures are uncommon injuries, although they are becoming more frequent.
We report a case of a PM rupture in a young male who presented with axillar pain and absence of the anterior axillary fold after he perceived a snap while lifting 200 kg in the bench press.
Diagnosis of PM rupture was suspected clinically and confirmed with imaging studies.
The patient was treated surgically, reinserting the tendon to the humerus with suture anchors.
One-year follow-up showed excellent results.
The patient was recording his training on video, so we can observe in detail the most common mechanism of injury of PM rupture.
