Magnetically controlled growing rods for rigid scoliosis: an alternative to halo-gravity traction in preparing for definitive correction?

The treatment concept for severe rigid idiopathic scoliosis is a short-term application of halo-gravity traction to enable maximum correction and subsequent dorsal fusion. The method has already been mentioned in the literature as an effective procedure. This case report demonstrates the use of a ne...

Zusammenfassung:The treatment concept for severe rigid idiopathic scoliosis is a short-term application of halo-gravity traction to enable maximum correction and subsequent dorsal fusion. The method has already been mentioned in the literature as an effective procedure. This case report demonstrates the use of a new treatment concept using magnetically controlled distraction rods as a possible alternative to the halo-gravity traction device. To our knowledge the use of this technique in severe rigid idiopathic scoliosis has not yet been published.
