“…Sixteen studies (53%) were conducted prospectively; one study did not mention time of enrollment. Ten studies reported abnormalities in asymptomatic volunteers 1,11,16,18,21,23,24,33,39,47 ; 5 studies (4 of which were cadaver studies) reported prevalence in the general population 10,14,26,28,49 ; 8 included symptomatic patients 6,7,31,36,44,46,50,51 ; and 7 described patients with acute or chronic shoulder dislocations. 3,27,29,38,42,43,52 The majority of the studies used ultrasound to image the rotator cuff (43%; 13 of 30).…”

“…It is also been shown that dynamic adaptation to mechanic loading may be different between women and men 10 . In a recent study conducted by Abate et al it was observed that in postmenopausal women there is a dramatic increase in asymptomatic rotator cuff tears and that this higher prevalence was linked also to other metabolic factors like HDL, fasting glucose and Body Mass Index (BMI) 11 .…”

The knowledge about tendons and tenocyte biological behaviour during aging and, especially, oestrogen deficiency is limited. Women differ from men with regard to muscle and tendon, most likely due to differences in sex hormones activity and tissue response. To-date the interest in metabolic factors that may induce tendon disorders is growing. The aim of this paper is to elucidate the current findings in the correlation between oestrogen deficiency, aging and tendon pathology and to encourage future researches to ameliorate assessment and management of tendinopathies in postmenopausal women.

“…It has generally been reported that there are comparable incidence and characteristics of RCTs in both males and females [12], although only one study by Abate et al [13] that specifically assessed menopausal women suggested that these women had an increased prevalence of asymptomatic FTT in the postmenopausal period.…”

Rotator cuff disease accounts for 10% of all shoulder pain and major shoulder disability, with limited information concerning the natural history and treatment approaches for the disorder. Our objective is to assess the available evidence for the efficacy and morbidity of commonly used systemic medications, physiotherapy, and injections alongside evaluating any negative long-term effects. Although there is conflicting literature, there appears to be some consensus on the best indicators for choosing to treat a full-thickness tears (FTT) non-operatively to reduce pain and improve function. The risks associated with these tears include the potential of the progression of the tear, a diminished healing potential due to age or longer symptom duration, muscle atrophy, and fatty infiltration. The indications for surgery following conservative treatment are becoming more defined, and an outline regarding what scenarios warrant a transition from an initial conservative treatment plan has been developed. The developing benefits of using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and other biologics have the potential to be disruptive to current treatment protocols in the approaches to healing rotator cuff tears (RCTs). With improved imaging modalities, diagnostic accuracy, and sensitivity, practitioners of the future will hopefully be able to intervene earlier in the disease pathogenesis cycle.
