Abstract | Study design: Prospective radiographic study.
Objectives: To determine the three-dimensional (3D) changes in deformity correction with magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) distractions.
Summary of background data: MCGRs can achieve similar coronal plane correction as traditional growing rods. The changes in the sagittal and axial planes are unknown and should be studied as these factors reflect potential for proximal junctional kyphosis and rotational deformity. Frequent MCGR distractions may potentially improve axial plane deformities to the same extent as coronal and sagittal plane deformities.
Methods: Early onset scoliosis (EOS) patients who underwent dual MCGRs with minimum 2-year follow-up were included in this study. 3D reconstructions of 6-monthly biplanar images were used to study changes in coronal, sagittal and axial planes. Changes in growth parameters (body height and arm span) were scaled to changes in coronal Cobb angles, sagittal profile (T1–12, T4–12, L1–L5, L1–S1), and rotational profile at the proximal thoracic, main thoracic and lumbar curves, and pelvic parameters (sagittal pelvic tilt, lateral pelvic tilt and pelvis rotation).
Results: A total of 10 EOS patients were studied. The mean age at index surgery was 8.2 ± 3.0 years and mean postoperative follow-up of 34.3 ± 9.5 months. Six patients had rod exchange at mean 29.5 ± 11.8 months after initial implantation. Despite consistent gains in body height and arm span, the main changes in coronal and rotational profiles only occurred at the initial rod implantation surgery with only small changes occurring with subsequent follow-ups. Patients with higher preoperative proximal junctional angles had flattening of the sagittal plane occurring at initial surgery with early rebound. No changes in pelvic parameters were observed.
Conclusions: The 3D changes with MCGR are mainly observed with initial rod implantation and no significant changes are observed with distractions. The MCGR can prevent deformity progression in the axial plane.
