The physician documents the injury diagnosis as a rotator cuff (supraspinatus) tear of the right shoulder. The physician, in the electronic medical record (EMR) appropriately selects ICD-10 code S46. 011A.
Definition/Description. A supraspinatus tear is a tear or rupture of the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle. The supraspinatus is part of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Most of the time it is accompanied with another rotator cuff muscle tear.
The supraspinatus tendon is located on the back of your shoulder and helps your arm to move throughout its full range of motion – and helps with power and strength.
The supraspinatus muscle is the only muscle of the rotator cuff that is not a rotator of the humerus. The infraspinatus is a powerful lateral rotator of the humerus. The tendon of this muscle is sometimes separated from the capsule of the glenohumeral joint by a bursa.
The names of these muscle-tendon components of the rotator cuff are: the supraspinatus which runs over the top of the ball of the shoulder joint (humeral head); the subscapularis which runs across the front of the humeral head; and. the infraspinatus and the teres minor which run across the back of the humeral head.
Supraspinatus is the smallest of the 4 muscles which comprise the Rotator Cuff of the shoulder joint specifically in the supraspinatus fossa. It travels underneath the acromion.
The supraspinatus muscle, the most superiorly located of the rotator cuff muscles, resides in the supraspinous fossa of the scapula, superior to the scapular spine.
Partial tears: Also called incomplete tears, the damage experienced by the tendon does not sever it completely. Complete tears: More commonly referred to as a full-thickness tear, this injury entirely separates the tendon from the bone.
Superior Labrum, Anterior to Posterior tears (SLAP tears), also known as labrum tears, represent 4% to 8% of all shoulder injuries. The L in SLAP refers to your glenoid labrum. Your labrum plays two important roles in keeping your shoulder functioning and pain free.
Rotator cuff tear or rupture, not specified as traumatic The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M75. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M75.
In the most lateral cross section, near the humeral insertion, the supraspinatus is entirely tendon from the anterior (left) to posterior portion of the structure.
Partial thickness tears. 0 Normal. 1 Minimal superficial bursal or synovial irritation or slight capsular fraying over a small area. 2 Fraying and failure of some rotator cuff fibres in addition to synovial bursal or capsular injury.
