Confirmation of the diagnosis can be done by blocking the pectoralis minor muscle or injecting botulinium. [5] First-line treatment for patients with PMS but without TOS is self-stretching of the pectoralis minor muscle. [6] Other treatments include injection of botulinium, or surgery that cuts the pectoralis minor tendon. [7] [8] [2]
The injury is characterized by sudden and acute pain in the chest wall and shoulder area, bruising and loss of strength of the muscle. High grade partial or full thickness tears warrant surgical repair as the preferred treatment if function is to be preserved, particularly in the athletic population.
An ultrasound-guided pectoral nerve block can also be performed preventively before the operation by an anesthesiologist, experienced in regional anesthesia. It is safe and relies on ultrasound imaging to localize the pectoralis major and minor muscles, the presumed course of the pectoral nerves and the optimal spread of the local anesthetic. [7]
Pectoralis minor muscle (/ ˌ p ɛ k t ə ˈ r æ l ɪ s ˈ m aɪ n ər /) is a thin, triangular muscle, situated at the upper part of the chest, beneath the pectoralis major in the human body. It arises from ribs III-V; it inserts onto the coracoid process of the scapula. It is innervated by the medial pectoral nerve.
The medial pectoral nerve (also known as the medial anterior thoracic nerve) is (typically) a branch of the medial cord of the brachial plexus and is derived from spinal nerve roots C8-T1. It provides motor innervation to the pectoralis minor muscle , and the lower half (sternal part) of the pectoralis major muscle .

A sports injury is exactly what Jack, now 18, was first told by his GP practice nurse when he first noticed a lump in 2023. His mother Katie, 51, remembered how the nurse came to this conclusion ...
A strain is an acute or chronic soft tissue injury that occurs to a muscle, tendon, or both. The equivalent injury to a ligament is a sprain. [1] Generally, the muscle or tendon overstretches and partially tears, under more physical stress than it can withstand, often from a sudden increase in duration, intensity, or frequency of an activity.
