Description
Andrew J Nasr and colleagues ask whether hormone replacement therapy changes the course of shoulder cuff tears in women. Their 2026 study follows 77 women aged 45 and over with symptomatic rotator cuff tears, enrolled across centres between February 2011 and June 2015. Outcomes were tracked for five years with standard shoulder and mental health questionnaires.
Thirteen women used hormone therapy and 64 did not; the therapy group averaged 58.7 years old against 63.5 years in the comparison group on the figures given. MRI scans graded tear size, muscle wasting and fatty infiltration over the follow-up. Comparing score paths between groups tests whether hormones, often debated for bone and muscle, also sway tendon healing and shoulder function.
