Magnetically controlled growing instrumentation for early onset scoliosis: Caution needed when interpreting the literature.

CONCLUSION: MCGR for EOS has a cumulative complication rate of 42.4% but this is significantly reduced to 35.7% when reviewing only keeper-plate enabled implants. However, 25% of published articles included mixed implant iterations. Future studies should discern between implants iterations when reporting on the usage of MCGR for EOS. PMID: 31840020 [PubMed]
