The impact of sagittal plane alignment on the treatment of spinal disorders is of critical
importance. A failure to recognise malalignment in this plane can have significant consequences …

Purpose of Review Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant heritable disorder of
fibrillin-1 (FBN1) with predominantly ocular, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal …

Purpose To analyse the complication profile of magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs)
in early onset scoliosis (EOS). Methods This is a systematic review using PUBMED, …

Study Design. A retrospective review of prospectively collected clinical and radiologic data
of patients with magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) from a multi-centered study …

Purpose Early-Onset Scoliosis (EOS) (defined as a curvature of the spine ≥ 10 with onset
before 10 years of age) if not properly treated, can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. …

Purpose To evaluate the cost differences between a conventional growth rod system (CGRS)
and magnetic controlled growth rods (MCGR) in treating early onset scoliosis (EOS) over a …

Aims Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) allow non-invasive correction of the
spinal deformity in the treatment of early-onset scoliosis. Conventional growing rod systems (…

Purpose Non-invasive distraction of magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) avoids
repeated surgical lengthening in patients with early onset scoliosis, but it is not known how …

The normal spine has a straight profile when seen from behind. Scoliosis occurs when this
profile is deformed by a curvature which may appear in one or more segments. This curvature …

Study Design. Retrospective review of case notes and imaging. Objective. To show the
advantage of axial loaded magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for identification of dynamic …
