Flexible growing rods: a biomechanical pilot study of polymer rod constructs in the stability of skeletally immature spines

BACKGROUND: Surgical treatments for early onset scoliosis (EOS) correct curvatures and improve respiratory function but involve many complications. A distractible, or ‘growing rod,’ implant construct that is more flexible than current metal rod systems may sufficiently correct curves in small childr...
