Lower trapezius muscle avulsion from thoracic spinous processes in a patient with a history of trauma.
Lower trapezius muscle injuries have not been previously described in the literature. We present a case of avulsion of the trapezius muscle from the T3-T9 spinous processes with subsequent hematoma formation, seen on magnetic resonance imaging.
