Are Fassier-Duval Rods at Risk of Migration in Patients Undergoing Spine Magnetic Resonance Imaging?

Conclusions: FD rods are safe and pose no risk of migration, heating effects, or artifact when undergoing an MRI of the spine using a 1.5 T magnet. With the introduction of magnet strengths higher than 1.5 T, further testing should be performed. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
