Outcomes Related to the Use of Standard-Standard versus Standard-Offset Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods

BACKGROUND: Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) are used to perform growth-friendly spinal deformity correction. A key variable that remains debated in determining the optimal use of MCGRs is the orientation of the rods: parallel to one another (standard-standard) versus...
