torn pectoral tendon

(2 discussions)

I was wondering if anyone knew how long I can go before its to late to get my chest tendon re-attached? I had the surgery 2weeks after the incident but I tore it out again 10day later, I need to get it re-done as my surgeon has refused to re-do it. I’m in the process of finding another surgeon but it is taking a long time. It’s been 8weeks since I re-tore it. I’m looking for an answer on how long I can wait before its too late to re-attatch it.

    I tore my left peck in feb 2015 doing flat bench. I was told not to bother with surgery at time because I was not an athelete. I have continued to train though my pec has indentation and is weaker. I cannot find any local surgeons(ithaca,ny) who will touch it esp now is there anyone around central; new york who specializes in this?
