Supraspinatus
M75. 3 - Calcific tendinitis of shoulder | ICD-10-CM.
The supraspinatus muscle originates from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula and inserts into the greater tuberosity of the humerus. It is the most commonly injured rotator cuff muscle. Tendinosis refers to internal tendon degeneration. This occurs because of an imbalance between tendon breakdown and tendon repair.
Supraspinatus tendinopathy is a common source of shoulder pain in athletes that participate in overhead sports (handball, volleyball, tennis, baseball). This tendinopathy is in most cases caused by an impingement of the supraspinatus tendon on the acromion as it passes between the acromion and the humeral head.
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).
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.
Your rotator cuff is made up of muscles and tendons that keep the ball (head) of your upper-arm bone (humerus) in your shoulder socket. It also helps you raise and rotate your arm. Each one of these muscles is part of the rotator cuff and plays an important role: Supraspinatus.
Subscapularis Tendinitis This is a painful medical condition of the shoulder in which there is inflammation of the tendons of the subscapularis muscle resulting in severe pain in the shoulders and difficulty with mobility of the shoulders.
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.
Tendinitis is an acutely inflamed swollen tendon that doesn't have microscopic tendon damage. The underlying culprit in tendinitis is inflammation. Tendinosis, on the other hand, is a chronically damaged tendon with disorganized fibers and a hard, thickened, scarred and rubbery appearance.
Chronic abrasion or “impingement” of the supraspinatus tendon on the edge of the acromion can cause fraying and tearing of the tendon. This injury pattern occurs on the outer or “bursal” side of the tendon.
If you have supraspinatus tendinosis and you keep using it despite increasing pain, you may cause further damage. The goal of any treatment is to reduce pain and restore function. There are several treatment options for supraspinatus tendinosis and the best option is different for every person.
