A very small fragment of the pectoralis major tendonis retracted with the torn muscle. There is edema within the muscle along with mild retractionof the muscle. Perimuscular edema is present. Small amount of fluid is terposed between the pectoralis major and the coracobrachialis muscles. Almost the entire pectoralis major tendon insertionis intact. The clavicular component of the righ pectoralis major muscle is in tact. There is edema and a small of fluid located in the medial margin of the proximal arm. The remainder of the muscles are normal.
HELP!!!! The surgeon said there nothing to sew back together. He said it's like sewing yarn back to meat and he would be doing me a disservice by doing surgery. He said adema will set in and I will have to live with the deformity.

that is almost the EXACT same tear mine had except it sounds like yours was on the tendon side, but mine was on the muscle side (mine is suppossed to be harder to repair). Mine got put back together just fine, though the doctor said there was a chance it wouldn't work. where are you located?
