Risk Factors

Anatomic abnormalities in the Intertubercular Groove are associated with RTC tendinopathy¹

Considerations

The Transverse Ligament is now believed to be continuous with RTC tendons and the Coracohumeral Ligament¹. In addition, the presence of free nerve endings in the Transverse Ligament indicate that it could be a source of pain in the shoulder¹.
