Magnetically controlled growing rods in early onset scoliosis: radiological results, outcome, and complications in a series of 22 patients.

MCGR treatment is able to control deformity progression. Complication rate was 54.5%. Sagittal balance was not altered and treatment does not seem to have a negative impact on the development of spino-pelvic parameters during growth. Optimal end of treatment for the individual patient still has to be defined.
