High Correlation Between Achieved and Expected Distraction Using Magnetically Controlled Growth Rods (MCGR) With Rib to Pelvis Fixation in Pediatric Spine Deformity

Magnetically controlled implant systems have been established to treat severe progressive spinal deformity in children. The purpose of this study was to evaluate (1) the ratio between achieved and expected distraction length, (2) the complication rate and its risk factors as well as (3) the correlation of the distraction length and the length of the spine.
