Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine whether surgical treatment of early onset
scoliosis (EOS) with magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) or a vertical expandable …

Background: Severe early-onset scoliosis (EOS) is managed surgically but represents a
challenge due to limited implant fixation points, large curve size, and fragile patients with …

Study Design. A retrospective review of prospectively collected clinical and radiologic data
of patients with magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) from a multi-centered study …

Introduction Traditional growing rod (TGR) surgery is a treatment technique commonly used
for progressive early-onset scoliosis. Studies have shown that repeated TGR lengthenings …

Aims The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients
with early-onset scoliosis (EOS), who had undergone spinal fusion after distraction-based …

Distraction based spinal instrumentation represents the most common and standard surgical
technique to correct early onset scoliosis (EOS), ie, scoliosis which has been diagnosed …

Abstract Background Context The optimal method for surgical treatment of early onset
scoliosis is currently unknown. Although the aim of growth-friendly systems is to reduce the …

Background: Traditional growing rods have a reported wound and implant complication rate
as high as 58%. It is unclear whether the use of magnetically controlled growing rods …

Purpose To evaluate the cost differences between a conventional growth rod system
(CGRS) and magnetic controlled growth rods (MCGR) in treating early onset scoliosis (EOS) …

Background Early onset scoliosis (EOS) presents in patients younger than 10 years.
Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) were developed as an outpatient distraction …
