Welcome to PECTEAR.com
Athletes commonly call the rupture of the pectoralis major muscle a "Pec Tear or a Pec rupture". On this site you will find as much as possible information about this terrible injury. The purpose of this site is to help athletes to learn more about ruptures of the pectoralis muscle and to help them find a surgeon. The reason to start this site is because that pec tears are a "rare" injury and it is hard to find doctors that have experience with these kind of injuries.

have. Read

It is a complicated answer and solution, it all depends on the type of
tear you have.
