Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is indicated for the treatment of conditions that cannot be treated with conventional arthroplasty or other procedures. These primarily include degenerative and incapacitating conditions with irreparable rotator cuff and loss of the normal biomechanical coupling of the shoulder.

FAQs
They help keep the long head of the biceps brachii tendon aligned within its bony passage as the shoulder moves. This supporting relationship is clinically important because loss of normal tendon positioning can be associated with biceps tendon instability. Evaluating the groove together with these nearby soft tissues therefore helps clinicians interpret shoulder symptoms and imaging findings.
Its relationship with the long head of the biceps brachii tendon connects a specific bony landmark with a tendon that crosses the shoulder region. Abnormalities involving this area may contribute to assessment of biceps tendinopathy or tendon instability, while nearby rotator cuff structures provide additional context. The combined anatomy helps clinicians relate symptoms to possible shoulder disorders.
Assessment of this region can contribute to evaluating biceps tendinopathy, biceps tendon instability, rotator cuff disorders, and proximal humeral fractures. These conditions involve different anatomical structures or problems, so the groove should not be interpreted in isolation. Its location provides a reference point for examining the biceps tendon, surrounding cuff structures, and adjacent proximal humerus.
The landmark supports interpretation of shoulder radiographs, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance images. Radiographs can help evaluate the adjacent proximal humerus, including fracture assessment, while ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging contribute to evaluation of the tendon and surrounding soft tissues. Using the groove as an anatomical reference helps organize findings related to biceps and rotator cuff pathology.
During physical examination, clinicians use the region as an anatomical reference when assessing symptoms related to the long head of the biceps brachii tendon and nearby rotator cuff structures. Findings from examination can then be considered alongside imaging, particularly when evaluating suspected biceps tendinopathy, tendon instability, or rotator cuff disorders. The landmark helps focus assessment on relevant shoulder anatomy.
Its recognizable relationship to the biceps tendon and proximal humerus helps inform injection procedures and surgical planning. Clinicians can use the surrounding anatomy to orient treatment toward the intended shoulder structures while considering nearby rotator cuff tissues. In operative settings, the landmark also supports planning for disorders involving the biceps tendon, rotator cuff, or proximal humeral fractures.
