Abstract
Isolated latissimus dorsi tendon rupture is an exceedingly rare injury with a paucity of literature available to help guide management. The anatomy of the posterior aspect of the axilla and chest wall is complex. Nonoperative treatment has been described as an acceptable form of management for these injuries. A small subset of case reports and case series also show success with latissimus dorsi repair. We show a one-incision technique for repair of a humeral-sided avulsion of the latissimus dorsi tendon.
