Clinically relevant finite element technique based protocol to evaluate growing rods for early onset scoliosis correction

Abstract Objective The emergence of distraction‐based growing rods has provided the means to reduce the progression of spinal deformity in early onset scoliosis (EOS). The current protocols for evaluating spinal implants (ie, ASTM‐F1717 and ISO‐12189) were developed for fusion/dynamic devices. These...
