ICD-10-CM Code for Complete rotator cuff tear or rupture of right shoulder, not specified as traumatic M75. 121.
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.
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.
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.
Complete rotator cuff tear or rupture of unspecified shoulder, not specified as traumatic. M75. 120 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Use code 23410 for repair of an acute rupture of the rotator cuff and code 23412 for repair of a chronic rotator cuff injury.
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.
A supraspinatus tear is a tear or rupture of the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle, which is located at the back of the shoulder.
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.
Supraspinatus is the most superior of the four rotator cuff muscles. It is a small triangular-shaped muscle, located on the posterior aspect of the scapula. It originates from the medial aspect of the supraspinous fossa, a concave depression located above the spine of the scapula.
The supraspinatus muscle arises from the supraspinous fossa, a shallow depression in the body of the scapula above its spine. The supraspinatus muscle tendon passes laterally beneath the cover of the acromion.
Rotator cuff tendinosis (the disease and degeneration process) occurs when the small muscles of the rotator cuff, the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis, become strained, causing weakness of these structures and subsequent tendonitis (tendon inflammation).
