Wound Complication and Neuropraxia of the Posterior Cutaneous Nerve of the Arm after Primary Repair of a Latissimus Dorsi and Teres Major Tear

We present a case of a surgically treated latissimus dorsi (LD) and teres major (TM) tear with a one-year outcome. The postoperative course was complicated by wound dehiscence requiring operative intervention and neuropraxia of the posterior cutaneous nerve of the arm. The report highlights previously unreported surgical risks associated with repair of LD/TM tendons.
