Objective: To compare the viability of transferring the lower and transverse trapezius to the greater tuberosity using three different techniques.
Methods: Twelve shoulders from six cadavers were used. The primary outcome was to assess the suture viability of the trapezius muscle transfer to the greater tuberosity in the insertion topography of the infraspinatus, with the arm adducted during internal rotation (hand on the abdomen) and maximum scapular retraction.
