This case report describes the clinical progress of a 22-year-old male patient diagnosed with a consolidating Hill-Sachs lesion, treated with 18 sessions of Tissue Optimization Reparative (TO-Rpr) protocol, specific to Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyor (REAC) technology. At baseline, the patient reported persistent pain with a numeric rating scale (NRS) score of 7 out of 10 and significant functional limitations of the shoulder (flexion 90°, abduction 70°, external rotation 20°), accompanied by bone marrow edema, tendinous alterations, and significant inflammation. The therapeutic protocol aimed to modulate tissue bioelectric activity to promote reparative processes and reduce inflammation. Follow-up MRI, performed four months after treatment, revealed complete resolution of bone marrow edema, normalization of tendinous structures, and reduced cortical irregularities. Clinically, flexion improved to 160°, abduction to 150°, and external rotation to 70°, with muscle strength restored to 5/5 and pain reduced to 0/10 on the NRS. This case highlights the role of REAC TO-Rpr treatment in managing complex joint lesions, showcasing its potential to significantly improve clinical and radiological parameters within a short timeframe.
本病例报告描述了一名22岁男性患者的临床进展,该患者被诊断为合并Hill-Sachs损伤,采用了针对射频不对称输送器(REAC)技术的组织优化修复(TO-Rpr)方案进行了18次治疗。基线时,患者报告持续疼痛,数字评定量表(NRS)评分为7分(满分10分),肩部存在明显功能受限(前屈90°、外展70°、外旋20°),伴有骨髓水肿、肌腱改变和明显炎症。治疗方案旨在调节组织生物电活动,以促进修复过程并减轻炎症。治疗四个月后进行的随访磁共振成像(MRI)显示,骨髓水肿完全消退,肌腱结构恢复正常,皮质不规则性减轻。临床上,前屈改善至160°,外展改善至150°,外旋改善至70°,肌肉力量恢复至5/5,NRS疼痛评分降至0/10。本病例突出了REAC TO-Rpr治疗在处理复杂关节损伤中的作用,显示了其在短时间内显著改善临床和影像学参数的潜力。
