We agree with other authors that acute surgical repair ensures good to excellent results in up to 90% of the cases [12, 15] as compared to 70% when treated non-operatively. Although both methods restore a full range of motion and pain relief, surgery is essential for restoration of normal strength and greater recovery of peak torques and work performed, especially for the athlete [2, 3, 7].

The technique for surgical repair varies from suturing the tendon to the periosteum [12], to the remaining tendon [11] or clavi-pectoral fascia [10]. Osseous fixation can be achieved through drill holes [7, 12, 15], barbed staples [5] and anchors [13].

-----------------

Im just confused on the diff btw a torn pec muscle and torn pec tendon.

how would you repair a torn muscle? suture it together? what would hold it in place? imagine the immobolizer you would need ... or when they say "torn pec muscle" they really mean torn pec tendon?

either way, obviously not getting surgery = greater risk of aggravation.
