Distraction-to-stall Versus Targeted Distraction in Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods

Conclusions: In 2 comparable and consecutive cohorts of patients treated with MCGR, we found no difference in achieved distraction between a distraction-to-stall and a targeted distraction principle. Preoperative major curve angle was the only independent predictor of achieved distraction. Level of Evidence: Level III—retrospective comparative study.
