ICD-10-CM Code for Complete rotator cuff tear or rupture of right shoulder, not specified as traumatic M75. 121.
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 of the rotator cuff is involved and affected tendons of the musculoskeletal system and becomes degenerated, most often as a result of repetitive stresses and overloading during sports or occupational activities.
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 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. You're more likely to be at risk of a supraspinatus tear if: you're over the age of 40.
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.
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 tendon is the most commonly injured tendon of the four tendons because it lies predominantly in the space between the acromion and the humeral head.
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).
These tendons may become damaged through an acute traumatic injury and/or through a chronic degenerative process of which multiple intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors have been described. A complete loss of continuity of one or multiple tendons is a full-thickness tear.
