Functional Recovery After 18 Sessions of Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyor Tissue Optimization Reparative Protocol for Hill-Sachs Lesion in a Post-traumatic Shoulder Dislocation
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.
