Abstract
Rotator cuff tears are frequently treated in daily clinical practice. However, there have been few reports of tears around the shoulder involving the latissimus dorsi and teres major muscles. The author reports the rare case of an isolated tear of the teres major muscle with symptom onset during ordinary sports activities without a clear traumatic mechanism. The patient received conservative treatment, and satisfactory results were obtained. [Orthopedics. 2019; 42(2):e276-e278.].
