What are the symptoms of a partial rotator cuff tear?
A supraspinatus tear can occur in due to a trauma or repeated micro-trauma and present as a partial or full thickness tear. Most of the time the tear occurs in the tendon or as an avulsion from the greater tuberosity. The tear can be partial or full-thickness.
ICD-10-CM Code for Complete rotator cuff tear or rupture of right shoulder, not specified as traumatic M75. 121.
Partial thickness tears of the supraspinatus muscle are an incomplete disruption of muscle fibers; note that these can progress to a complete or full thickness tear of the supraspinatus muscle, and larger tears pose a higher risk of progression to full tears, even if they are asymptomatic.
ICD-10-CM Code for Unspecified rotator cuff tear or rupture of left shoulder, not specified as traumatic M75. 102.

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.
A partial thickness rotator cuff tear is an incomplete tear of the rotator cuff. These may be traumatic in athletes (caused by an injury) and are known as PASTA lesions.
A partial tear goes only part of the way into the tendon. It's usually described in terms of how deep the tear is in the tendon and doesn't refer to length, width or other dimensions. A full-thickness tear is when the wear in the tendon goes all the way through the tendon.
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.
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.
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.
Supraspinatus tear can be caused by lifting something too heavy, falling on your arm, or dislocating your shoulder. However, host cases are the result of the tendon wearing down over time, which is known as a degenerative tear.
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.
