- Estradiol supplementation may improve some postoperative outcomes in postmenopausal women after rotator cuff repair, including better VAS and SSV scores at 2 years.
- However, the observed improvements in VAS and SSV did not reach the minimal clinically important difference threshold.
- There were no significant differences between HRT and non-HRT groups in preoperative scores, satisfaction rates, ASES scores, or reoperation rates.
- The study suggests that further prospective randomized trials are needed before recommending estradiol supplementation for postmenopausal patients undergoing rotator cuff repair.
