Device-Related Complications Associated with Magec Rod Usage for Distraction-Based Correction of Scoliosis

Introduction: Recent literature identifies similar failure rates such as anchor pull-out and rod breakage, but a higher unplanned revision surgery with MAGEC rods than with traditional growth rods. Besides known failure modes such as rod fracture, infection, etc., failure to noninvasively distract t...
