Simulation of AC joint dislocation. We simulated AC joint dislocation by sequential resection of AC ligament, AC joint capsule, trapezoid ligament, and conoid ligament in the following order of stages. Stage 0: The acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments and the acromioclavicular joint capsule were intact. Stage 1: The acromioclavicular ligament, acromioclavicular joint capsule, and disc were sectioned. Stage 2: The trapezoid ligament was sectioned. Stage 3: The conoid ligaments was sectioned. The sectioned ligaments in each stage are indicated by jagged lines
