What are the outcomes of traditional rods compared to magnetically controlled growing rods and custom contoured rod fusion?
Abstract
The outcomes of magnetically controlled growing rods are generally favorable compared to traditional growing rods in terms of complications and quality of life, although cost and radiological outcomes are similar in the long term. Specific comparative evidence on custom contoured rod fusion is limited.
