European Spine Journal > 2017 > 26 > 6 > 1690-1695

Purpose Is there any relationship between lengthening intervals and rod fracture in traditional growing rod (TGR) surgery? Methods A multicenter EOS database was queried for patients who had: (1) dual growing rods for EOS; (2) minimum 2-year follow-up; (3) a minimum of 2 lengthenings; and (4) revision surgery due to rod fracture. Of 138 patients who met the criteria: 56 patients experienced at least...

Multi-center retrospective review.The purpose of this study was to identify preoperative variables associated with postoperative complications in early-onset scoliosis (EOS) patients treated with traditional growing rods (TGR); and to develop a model to predict the incidence of postoperative complications based on preoperative variables.TGRs are commonly used to treat progressive EOS. Prior research...

Retrospective consecutive case series.To estimate the amount of ionizing radiation (IR) exposure in growing rod (GR) surgery for early-onset scoliosis.There is substantial evidence of the health hazards attributed to IR exposure. However, no studies have estimated the amount of IR exposure in GR surgery.A consecutive single-center series of GR patients were retrospectively reviewed. Of 28 total patients,...

Do Thoracolumbar/lumbar Curves Respond Differently to Growing Rod Surgery Compared With Thoracic Curves?

Navid R. Arandi, Jeff B. Pawelek, Nima Kabirian, George H. Thompson, more

Spine Deformity > 2014 > 2 > 6 > 475-480

Retrospective study.To compare radiographic outcomes between primary thoracic and primary thoracolumbar/lumbar curves in patients with early-onset scoliosis (EOS) after growing rod (GR) surgery.Previous studies have shown the efficacy of GR surgery for progressive EOS. However, there is no information on the behavior of different curve patterns in EOS after GR surgery.A multicenter international EOS...

Traditional Growing Rods Versus Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods for the Surgical Treatment of Early-Onset Scoliosis: A Case-Matched 2-Year Study

Behrooz A. Akbarnia, Jeff B. Pawelek, Kenneth M.C. Cheung, Gokhan Demirkiran, more

Spine Deformity > 2014 > 2 > 6 > 493-497

Traditional growing rod (TGR) surgery is a treatment technique commonly used for progressive early-onset scoliosis. Studies have shown that repeated TGR lengthenings can significantly increase the risk of complications. Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) are currently available outside of the United States and early results have been promising. The purpose of this study was to compare the...

Is There an Optimal Time to Distract Dual Growing Rods?

Michael D. Paloski, Paul D. Sponseller, Behrooz A. Akbarnia, George H. Thompson, more

Spine Deformity > 2014 > 2 > 6 > 467-470

Retrospective multicenter observational cohort study.To determine whether there is a significant difference in final spinal height achieved, instrumented height, or Cobb angle related to the mean time interval between distractions of dual growing rods.Patients were prospectively enrolled in “The Treatment of Progressive Early Onset Spinal Deformities: A Multi-Center Study.” Additional data were collected...
