Untreated EOS may lead to progressively severe spinal deformity, impaired pulmonary development, restrictive lung disease, and both increased morbidity and mortality. Limitations of established conservative treatments include inability to correct severe deformity, as well as challenges with compliance when casting and bracing is applied. In addition, surgical treatment in the form of traditional growing rods requires regular surgical lengthenings and is associated with complications inherent with repeated invasive procedures and exposure to general anesthesia. MAGEC is an evolving magnetically controlled growing rod system for the treatment of EOS. After initial implantation, lengthening is achieved non-invasively by using magnetic external remote control. MAGEC offers the potential to control moderate and severe EOS, while avoiding repeated surgical procedures and associated complications. In this review, we examine the results from clinical, radiological and explant studies following the use of MAGEC, in the context of other established and emerging treatments for EOS.Keywords: MAGEC, growth rods, early-onset, scoliosis, treatmentTsirikos AIRoberts SBDove Medical Pressarticlemagecgrowth rodsearly-onsetscoliosistreatmentMedical technologyR855-855.5ENMedical Devices: Evidence and Research, Vol Volume 13, Pp 75-85 (2020)
