A biomechanical study on the effect of lengthening magnitude on spine off-loading in magnetically controlled growing rod surgery: Implications on lengthening frequency
Purpose: To assess whether the magnitude of lengthening in magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) surgeries has an immediate or delayed effect on spinal off-loading. Methods: 9 whole porcine spines were instrumented using two standard MCGRs from T9 to L5. Static compression testing using a mecha...
