1 The Use of MAGEC Growing Rods as a temporary distraction rod in Severe Kyphoscoliosis: 2 Case Reports. John T. Smith, MD Mary Scowcroft Perry Presidential Endowed Chair of Orthopaedics Professor, University of Utah Department of Orthopaedics Chief, Scoliosis Service Primary Children’s Hospital Salt Lake City, UT John A. Heflin, MD Assistant Professor, University of Utah Department of Orthopaedics Jessica Morgan University of Utah Department of Orthopaedics

2 Disclosures JT Smith: Consultant for: Depuy-Synthes, SpineGuard, Globus Medical, Biomet, Ellipse BOD: CSF John A. Heflin: Consultant for Globus Medical J Morgan: none

3 Case 1 11 +/- 2 year old female
Severe kyphoscoliosis measuring >135° MRI showing no abnormalities of the spinal cord Adopted from an Ethopian Refugee Camp

4 Initial Visit: clinical appearance

5 First radiographs; Kyphoscoliosis >150°

6 Management plan Through clinical evaluation for co-morbidities
Placement of halo Progressive halo-gravity traction Pulmonary rehab in halo Planned placement of Magnetically Controlled Growing Rod (MCGR) for continued outpatient expansion for 6 months

7 4 distractions over 6 months

8 Post-op definitive fusion after removal of MCGR

9 Case 2: Kyphoscoliosis >140°

10 Case 2 13 year old female Somali Refugee
Severe kyphoscoliosis measuring >140° MRI showing no abnormalities of the spinal cord Management plan: similar to Case 1 including MRI and gradual halo-gravity traction for 6 weeks followed by placement of temporary MCGR.

11 10 distractions over 4 months
Definitive fusion planned for November 2016

12 Discussion Gradual correction of severe scoliosis can be accomplished safely over time using halo-traction The MCGR can be used as a form of a temporary internal distraction rod in severe deformities Gradual distraction made definitive instrumentation and fusion easier and safer than a vertebral column resection References Sponseller P.D., Takenaga, R.K., Netown, P., et al.
