Law of Temporary Diminishing Distraction Gains: The Phenomenon of Temporary Diminished Distraction Lengths With Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods That Is Reverted With Rod Exchange

Jason Pui Yin Cheung et al.

Summary: The study found that there is an increasing divergence between targeted and achieved distractions during magnetically controlled growing rod lengthening. The reduced rate of achieved lengthening is related to the remaining rod length. After rod exchange, the achieved lengthening initially increases but subsequently decreases.

Matched Comparison of Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods with Traditional Growing Rods in Severe Early-Onset Scoliosis of ≥90° An Interim Report on Outcomes 2 Years After Treatment

Antti J. Saarinen et al.

Summary: A retrospective review comparing children with severe EOS treated with MCGRs and TGRs showed significant differences in major curve correction and unplanned revisions at a 2-year follow-up. MCGRs provided better outcomes with fewer revisions.
