Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the use of growth-friendly devices for treating Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) by reviewing patient data from a national registry over 26 years.
- From 1994 to 2020, 2,786 EOS patients underwent surgery, with significant shifts in device usage, particularly an increase in magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) and a decrease in traditional growing rods (TGR) and vertical expandable prosthetic titanium ribs (VEPTR).
- Overall, while the number of growth-friendly index procedures has increased since the inception of the registry, a notable decline was observed in 2019 compared to the previous year.
