Biomechanical studies have mainly focused on static ligamentous stabilizers. Few studies have quantified ACJ stabilization provided by the trapezius.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose\/Hypothesis:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To elucidate the stabilization provided by the trapezius to the ACJ during scapular internal and external rotation (protraction and retraction).

The trapezius was then serially transected over 8 trials, which alternated between clavicular defects (CD) and scapular defects (SD); each sequential defect consisted of 25% of the clavicular or scapular trapezial attachment. After each defect, specimens were tested with angle-controlled scapular internal and external rotation (12\u00b0) with rotary torque measurements to evaluate ACJ stability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean resistance in rotary torque for 12\u00b0 of scapular internal rotation (protraction) with native specimens was 7.0 \u00b1 2.0 N\u00b7m. Overall, internal rotation demonstrated a significant decrease in ACJ stability with trapezial injury ( P &lt; .001). Eight sequential defects resulted in the following significant percentage decreases in rotary torque from native internal rotation: 1.5% (25% CD; 0% SD), 5.6% (25% CD; 25% SD), 5.1% (50% CD; 25% SD), 6.5% (50% CD; 50% SD), 3.8% (75% CD; 50% SD), 7.1% (75% CD; 75% SD), 6.7% (100% CD; 75% SD), and 12.3% (100% CD 100% SD) ( P &lt; .001). The mean resistance in rotary torque for 12\u00b0 of scapular external rotation (retraction) with native specimens was 7.1 \u00b1 1.7 N\u00b7m. External rotation did not demonstrate a significant decrease in ACJ stability with trapezial injury ( P = .596). The 8 sequential defects resulted in decreases in rotary torque from native external rotation of 0%, 3.8%, 4.0%, 3.2%, 3.5%, 3.4%, 4.2%, and 0.7%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Trapezial injury resulted in increased instability in the setting of scapular internal rotation (protraction) of the ACJ.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Relevance:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings validate the inclusion of deltotrapezial fascial injury consideration in the modified Rockwood classification system.
