TI  - Surgical Management of Pectoralis Major Tears of the Sternal Origin Because of 
      Seat Belt Trauma: A Report of 2 Cases.
LID - e21.00431 [doi]
AB  - CASES: Two patients presented with medial chest pain and deformity after 
      high-speed motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) in which they were restrained drivers. 
      Physical examination revealed retraction of the pectoralis major from the sternum 
      on resisted adduction and internal rotation of the arm. MRI confirmed tears of 
      the pectoralis major from the sternal origin. Both patients underwent delayed 
      surgical repair with excellent results. CONCLUSION: Tears of the pectoralis major 
      at the sternal origin are rare injuries that can result in significant deformity 
      and pain. Surgical repair, even in a delayed fashion, can result in excellent 
      patient outcomes.
