The magnetic field strength and the force distance dependency of the magnetically controlled growing rods used for early onset scoliosis
Abstract Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR’s) have revolutionized the treatment of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) because painless lengthenings can be done in the outpatient clinic without anesthesia. Untreated EOS leads to respiratory insufficiency and reduced life expectancy. However, MCGR’s...
