To our knowledge, a proximal humerus shaft fracture occurring at the site of the bone trough and cortical drill holes after a pectoralis major tendon rupture repair has not been reported in the literature.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>A 45-year-old man sustained an acute left pectoralis major tendon rupture at the humeral insertion while performing a bench press maneuver. He underwent acute surgical repair. Approximately 8 weeks postoperatively, the patient fell from a standing height and sustained a proximal humerus shaft fracture through the repair site at the bone trough. Three days after the fracture, the patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the proximal humerus shaft fracture and exploration of the pectoralis major tendon repair. The fracture was found to be at the level of the repair site, and the pectoralis major tendon was completely intact to the distal fragment. The fracture healed uneventfully, and the patient regained full motion and strength of his extremity with no limitations.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Any type of surgical fixation that creates a hole in the humerus or decreases the cross-sectional area such as a bone trough creates a stress riser. Patients undergoing pectoralis tendon repair that involves violating the humerus with a bone trough or hole have a slight risk of postoperative humerus fracture, especially if sustaining an early traumatic event such as a fall.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20110427-24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,13]],"date-time":"2011-06-13T20:51:03Z","timestamp":1307998263000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Proximal Humerus Shaft Fracture After Pectoralis Major Tendon Rupture Repair"],"prefix":"10.3928","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Jeff A.","family":"Silverstein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ben","family":"Goldberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Preston","family":"Wolin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2308","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-200501000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s001670050197"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.36.3.226"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465000280012701"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.35.3.202"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s001670050085"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-006-0171-2"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_1_9_2","first-page":"26","article-title":"Pectoralis major tendon repairs in the active-duty population","volume":"38","author":"Antosh IJ","year":"2009","unstructured":"Antosh IJ, Grassbaugh JA, Parada SA, Arrington ED.
