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.
ICD-9-CM 727.61 converts approximately to: 2022 ICD-10-CM M75. 120 Complete rotator cuff tear or rupture of unspecified shoulder, not specified as traumatic.
ICD-10 code M75. 121 for Complete rotator cuff tear or rupture of right shoulder, not specified as traumatic is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
011A.
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder joint in place and allow you to move your arm and shoulder. Problems occur when part of the rotator cuff becomes irritated or damaged. This can result in pain, weakness and reduced range of motion.
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.
102 for Unspecified rotator cuff tear or rupture of left shoulder, not specified as traumatic is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
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.
It is the largest and most powerful muscle involved in the rotator cuff, and its tendon is the largest part of the rotator cuff. An injury to the subscapularis tendon is generally painful, weakens the shoulder, and is often associated with problems of the biceps tendon which is right next to it.
Use code 23410 for repair of an acute rupture of the rotator cuff and code 23412 for repair of a chronic rotator cuff injury.
