Absztrakt Bevezetés: A primer malignus csontdaganatok kb. 30%-a chondrosarcoma, leginkább az elülső mellkasfalon jelentkeznek. Azoknak a betegeknek, akik megfelelő sebészi kezelést kapnak, 97%-os a 10 éves túlélési rátájuk. Ezenfelül fontos a terhelhetőség és a légzési funkció megőrzése, nem utolsósorban pedig az esztétikai eredmény. Beteg: A szerzők egy 44 éves férfi beteg esetét ismertetik, aki sportmasszőrként dolgozott, és a manubrium sterni Grade II chondrosarcomája miatt került műtétre. A beavatkozás során a sternum érintett része szélesen az épben kimetszésre került, a helyreállítás során a Dual Mesht bal oldali pectoralis major lebennyel fedték, valamint egyedi megoldásként a semitendinosus és -gracilis izmok inát felhasználva fixáltak két claviculát egymáshoz, ezáltal nagyfokú stabilitást adva a mellkasfalnak, és -visszaadva a felső végtag, illetve a vállöv terhelhetőségét. Eredmény: Eseménytelen posztoperatív szak után a beteg hamar felépült, és gyorsan visszatérhetett korábbi, a vállövet jelentősen igénybe vevő munkájához. Következtetés: A szerzők nem találtak hasonló műtéti eljárást az irodalomban, és ajánlják alkalmazását hasonló esetekben.

The pectoralis major is a widely used muscle in reconstruction surgery for replacement soft tissue defects of a head, neck, thorax, upper limbs and restoration of muscle active function. The peculiarities of anatomy of the pectoralis major makes it possible to divide the muscle into several segments with their own innervations and supply and use them independently from each other. This article describes the anatomy of the pectoralis major and the opportunity for clinical applications of different segments of this muscle. The authors demonstrate the result of the restoration of shoulder and elbow flexion in a patient with arthrogryposis due to simultaneous transfer of the proximal part of pectoralis major to the anterior part of the deltoid muscle and the distal part of pectoralis major to the biceps with good functional results. The article will be useful for plastic surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and physiotherapists.

BACKGROUND: Subacromial pain (SAP) is a common complaint of young athletes, independently of the sport engaged. The prevalence of SAP in some sports is up to 50%. OBJECTIVE: The study was aimed to investigate some new factors possibly associated to subacromial pain in young athletes. The factors considered were the grade of tightness of the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major, dysfunction of the sternoclavicular joint, and serratus anterior and lower trapezius strength. METHODS: This case-control study included 82 young athletes 9–15 years, 41 with the symptoms of SAP and 41 controls. All participants self-reported whether they had subacromial pain. In addition, Hawkins–Kennedy Test was performed to all the participants to evaluate the subacromial pressure. Main outcome measures were the grade of tightness of the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major, dysfunction of the sternoclavicular joint, and serratus anterior and lower trapezius strength. The grade of tightness of the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major and the dysfunction of the sternoclavicular joint were measured with an inclinometer. Serratus anterior and lower trapezius strength were measured by a handheld dynamometer with external belt-fixation. The data were analyzed using t-test for independent samples, Mann-Whitney U test, contingency coefficients and a stepwise binary logistic regression. RESULTS: Significant statistical difference was observed in the grade of tightness of the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major and in the variable representing the physiological functioning of the sternoclavicular joint, between the cases and the controls. There was no significant difference in serratus anterior and lower trapezius strength between the cases and the controls. Logistic regression analysis showed that the variable representing the physiological functioning of the sternoclavicular joint and the grade of shortening of the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major were good predictors for presence of SAP. CONCLUSIONS: A strong association was determined between subacromial pain in young athletes, clavicular portion of pectoralis major tightness and the dysfunction of the sternoclavicular joint.
