Increased lengthening frequency does not adversely affect the EOSQ scores in magnetically controlled growing rod surgeries in 133 subjects followed to final fusion

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Magnetically Controlled Growing Rod (MCGR) allows frequent outpatient rod lengthening when treating Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) patients. But there is lack of expert consensus on the optimal MCGR lengthening interval. EOS 24-Item Questionnaire (EOSQ) is validated for assessing health-related quality of life (HrQOL), family burden, and satisfaction. This is the first study assessing how MCGR lengthening intervals affects patient-perceived outcomes.
