Abstract
- Introduction of magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) for early onset scoliosis treatment was anticipated to improve quality of life for patients and their families. A cohort of patients converted from traditional growing rods to MCGR may be best suited to detect this improvement and have not previously been examined. Using the validated EOSQ-24, no HRQoL differences were detected between TGR, MCGR, or converted patient cohorts.
