This is a prospective study of magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) patients with particular focus on the timing of rod slippage as it pertains to rod lengthening in early onset scoliosis. Findings suggest that early rod lengthening is related to older patients and reduced distance between magnets. Diminishing length gains were observed after a period of rod usage and returns to baseline after rod exchange.
这是一项针对磁控生长棒（MCGR）患者的前瞻性研究，特别关注棒体滑脱的时间，因为它与早发性脊柱侧弯的棒体延长有关。研究结果表明，早期棒体延长与年龄较大的患者以及磁体之间距离缩短有关。在使用一段时间的棒体后，观察到长度增加逐渐减少，并且在更换棒体后恢复到基线水平。
