Furthermore, it appears that the HH occupies a relative superior position in the glenoid cavity in neutral side hanging position in chronic SIS and additional upward translation takes place during the elevation, reaching to the maximum at around 90 degrees and subsequently irritates the tendon of long head (LH) of biceps and the injured RC.

The major function of the RC is to rotate the HH within the glenoid cavity of the scapula.
