Best Practice Case Studies-Pectoralis Muscle Tear

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features Sagar Wagle, a musculoskeletal radiology fellow at Stanford, discussing two cases of pectoralis major muscle injuries. The first involves a 19-year-old male who experienced a shoulder injury while playing football, resulting in a torn pectoralis major tendon. The tear was identified using ultrasound and surgically repaired with suture anchors. The second case involves a 33-year-old male who heard a pop during bench pressing, indicative of a pectoralis muscle tear. MRI images show increased signal intensity at the injury site, highlighting the muscle strain and tear near the myotendinous junction.
