Understanding Pectoralis Tendon Ruptures: A Pectoralis Tendon Rupture refers to a tear or complete rupture of the tendon that attaches the pectoralis major muscle to the upper arm bone (humerus). This condition often occurs due to a sudden force or overexertion of the chest muscles, commonly seen in weightlifting or sports-related activities. Pectoralis tendon ruptures can cause pain, weakness, and a visible deformity in the affected area.

Comprehensive Treatment Approach: Dr. Hans J. Poessel understands the unique challenges and impact of Pectoralis Tendon Ruptures on an individual’s daily life and physical abilities. He provides a comprehensive treatment approach, tailored to each patient’s specific needs and goals. Here are some key components of the treatment plan:

1. Diagnosis and Evaluation: Dr. Poessel utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques, such as physical examination, imaging tests (MRI or ultrasound), and medical history review, to accurately diagnose Pectoralis Tendon Ruptures. He carefully evaluates the extent of the injury, including the location and severity of the tear, to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

2. Non-Surgical Treatments: In cases where the rupture is partial or the patient’s functional demands are minimal, non-surgical treatment options may be considered. These can include rest, immobilization with a sling, pain management, and physical therapy. Dr. Poessel will closely monitor the healing process and guide patients through a tailored rehabilitation program to regain strength and function.

3. Surgical Intervention: In cases of complete or significant tears, as well as for individuals with high functional demands or athletes, surgical intervention may be recommended. Dr. Poessel specializes in performing surgical repair of Pectoralis Tendon Ruptures using advanced techniques. The goal of surgery is to reattach the torn tendon to the humerus bone, restoring strength, stability, and range of motion.

4. Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy: Rehabilitation is a crucial component of the treatment plan for Pectoralis Tendon Ruptures. Dr. Poessel works closely with skilled physical therapists to develop a personalized rehabilitation program. This program aims to optimize healing, restore strength, improve flexibility, and gradually reintroduce patients to their normal activities or sports.
