S42.252ADisplaced fracture of greater tuberosity of left humerus, initial encounter for closed fracture. S42. 252A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The greater tuberosity is the prominent area of bone at the top of the humerus and is the attachment for the two large, powerful rotator cuff muscles - supraspinatus and infraspinatus. It is injured/fractured in a fall by either landing directly onto the side of your shoulder or landing with your arm outstretched.
The greater tubercle of the humerus is a bony projection of the lateral part of the proximal end of the humerus. It is situated lateral to the head of the humerus, and posterolateral to the lesser tubercle of humerus.
The greater tuberosity is the “bump” of bone at the top of the humerus that serves as the attachment for two rotator cuff muscles. This attachment is why a fracture can also interfere with the functioning of the rotator cuff.
The greater tuberosity it is located lateral to the head at the proximal end. The lesser tuberosity is located inferior to the head, on the anterior part of the humerus, Its very prominent and palpable. Bicipital (intertubercular) groove is located between the two tuberosities.
Overview. This condition is a fracture of the bony bump that is located opposite of the head of the humerus. This type of fracture can interfere with the rotator cuff. Causes. Fractures of the greater tuberosity are often caused by direct trauma to the shoulder.
The fracture is completely un-displaced (the bone has not moved), this means you do not need a routine follow up appointment. You have however been referred to your local physiotherapy service for rehabilitation to start approximately 3 weeks after your injury.
Surgical fixation is recommended for fractures with >5 mm of displacement in the general population or >3 mm of displacement in active patients involved in frequent overhead activity. Open surgical repair is performed with suture or screw fixation. Recently, arthroscopic techniques have produced promising results.
An avulsion fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus with associated rotator cuff tear is rare.
Following surgery, a sling is an absolute requirement for 6 weeks. The goal of the sling is to allow for healing of both the bone and the rotator cuff tear. During this time finger, wrist and elbow motion may occur, but no motion at the shoulder. Following this, physical therapy can be started in an active fashion.
Greater tuberosity fractures can be successfully treated nonsurgically in most cases (85% to 95%). However, surgical treatment results in better functional outcomes when patients have >5 mm of superior GT displacement.

You have sustained a fracture of your greater tuberosity of your shoulder. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint you have fractured the outside of the ball part. This normally takes between 6-12 weeks to unite (heal).
