The women's rights movement splits into two factions as a result of disagreements over the Fourteenth and soon-to-be-passed Fifteenth Amendments. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony form the more radical, New York-based National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA).
It requires approximately 4-6 weeks for the rotator cuff tendon to heal down into the bone. During that time if active motion of the shoulder is carried out, the rotator cuff may be pulled away from its repair site. Patients begin a formal physical therapy program at approximately 10-14 days from surgery. For the first 4-6 weeks, patients are allowed to actively move their hand, wrist and elbow.
A tear of the rotator cuff can result in weakness, loss of range of motion, and pain. Repair of a torn rotator cuff should be done arthroscopically. This procedure only takes about 45 minutes, but the recovery after surgery is quite long. Whereas, years ago, a sling was only recommended for a few weeks, and physical therapy progressed very quickly. We now recommend a sling for six weeks with near-complete immobilization.
