Rupture of the pectoralis major remains an infrequent injury, although, recently, it has been reported more commonly as a result of the expansion and increasing popularity of competitive sports, as well as developments in sports medicine. A number of surgical repair techniques have been described for direct repair in the acute setting. However, on occasion, the pectoralis major muscle is so retracted that a tension-free direct repair is not possible. We describe a technique for allograft reconstruction of the pectoralis major, with our preliminary outcomes, where it is found or anticipated that a direct repair is not possible.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of two systems of keeping Lohmann Brown laying hens in terms of carcass composition and meat quality assessment (chemical composition, physicochemical properties, texture, rheological properties, microstructure). The experimental material consisted of 30 carcasses (15 litter system - SS, 15 aviary system - SW) of Lohmann Brown laying hens after laying at 85 weeks of age. After slaughtering, the weight of the eviscerated carcass and the proportion of carcass elements, the weight of selected internal organs, acidity (pH), and electroconductivity (EC), color (L*, a*, b*), and the basic chemical composition of pectoral muscles and leg muscles were determined.
