Hospital-Based Cluster Trial: Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods Using Distraction Intervals
Sponsor: Pediatric Spine Foundation
Summary
A hospital-based cluster stratified randomization control study will be conducted to investigate spinal growth in Early Onset Scoliosis patients between 5 and 9 years of age. Patients must have a major coronal curve measuring over 50 degrees and be undergoing Magnetically Controlled Growing Rod treatment. We will be studying 6-week lengthening intervals compared to 16-week lengthening intervals on spinal growth within 3 years.

MAGEC® Spinal Bracing And Distraction System
The magnetically controlled growth rod (MCGR) system is a remotely distractible, magnetically controlled growing rod. The remote capabilities allow for less invasive and less time-consuming outpatient distraction visits, which solves many of the problems facing current growing rod technologies. The MCGR system allows for more frequent lengthenings, and the implanted growing rods can be lengthened more often, which allows MCGR to better approximate normal spine growth compared to Traditional Growing Rods.
