BACKGROUND: Over the last several decades, significant advances have occurred in the
assessment and management of spinal deformity. OBJECTIVE: The primary focus of this …

The magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) has had approximately 10 years of clinical
experience worldwide. Clinical effectiveness to control early-onset scoliosis is consistent …

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 …

BACKGROUND There is no agreement on frequency of distractions of magnetically
controlled growing rods (MCGRs) but more frequent and smaller amounts of distractions …

Study Design. Prospective study. Objective. To identify the factors that are associated with
rod slippage and to study the pattern of achieved length gain with a standard distraction …

Study Design. Analysis of explanted MAGnetic Expansion Control (MAGEC) growing rods.
Objective. To analyze explanted MAGEC rods used in management of early onset scoliosis …

Aims Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) allow non-invasive correction of the
spinal deformity in the treatment of early-onset scoliosis. Conventional growing rod systems …

Aims Magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) systems use non-invasive spinal
lengthening for the surgical treatment of early-onset scoliosis (EOS). The primary aim of this …

Purpose To assess the effect of frequent small distractions with a magnetically controlled
growing rod (MCGR) on spinal length gain and achieved distraction length in children with …

Introduction Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) for the surgical treatment of early
onset scoliosis (EOS) allow non-invasive outpatient based distractions during spinal growth …
