Would surgery fix anything with a torn pectoralis muscle (partial tear) and its derformity?
I recently tore my pectoralis muscle bench pressing and now when i flex it has a small indention. It mildly hurts when i workout and i was wondering if surgery would do anything for this as far as connecting the torn part together to fix the deformity and function? The doctor suggested that I go to physical therapy first before he proceeds with surgery on me because the muscle is still attatched to the tendon. Would surgery fix the appearance in any way?
It probably would…more so than PT because PT will simply help you develop the surrounding tissues to help increase function and decrease pain…yet the part that remains torn will probably remain that way. Your indentation may remain.
Yet, the purpose of surgical correction would be to restore the function of the muscle and cosmetic appearance would not be the first priority. This is why you must try the physical therapy first…otherwise it becomes a cosmetic procedure, not a medically necessary procedure.
