Latissimus Dorsi Reconstruction with Achilles Allograft Augmentation Through a Dual Approach for Segmental Rupture: A Case Report.

Case Report
We present a 55-year-old man with an isolated latissimus dorsi (LD) tendon tear in the setting of a full-thickness myotendinous tear following an acute injury. Given his poor tendon quality and quantity, we performed an LD reconstruction using Achilles tendon allograft. Postoperatively, the patient reported excellent satisfaction and returned to his preinjury levels of strength and motion without any complications./r/nLD tendon tears are rare among the general population and primarily affect athletes. This case demonstrates that an LD tendon reconstruction with Achilles allograft is a suitable option for patients to return to full function and strength./r/nIV.
