Journal ArticleDOI
Dual growing rod technique followed for three to eleven years until final fusion: the effect of frequency of lengthening.
Behrooz A. Akbarnia,Lee Breakwell,David Marks,Richard E. McCarthy,Alistair G. Thompson,Sarah Canale,Patricia Kostial,Anant Tambe,Marc A. Asher +8 more
TL;DR: Dual growing rod technique was found to be safe and effective in curve correction and maintenance as well as in allowing spinal growth and correction in children with early onset scoliosis, and significantly greater growth and Correction achieved in those lengthened more frequently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and efficacy of growing rod technique for pediatric congenital spinal deformities.
Hazeem B. Elsebai,Muharrem Yazici,George H. Thompson,John B. Emans,David L. Skaggs,Alvin H. Crawford,Lawrence I. Karlin,Richard E. McCarthy,Connie Poe-Kochert,Patricia Kostial,Behrooz A. Akbarnia +10 more
TL;DR: Growing rods are a safe and effective treatment technique in selected patients with congenital spinal deformities and the deformity, spinal growth, and the SAL improved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growing rods for spinal deformity: characterizing consensus and variation in current use.
Justin S. Yang,Mark J. McElroy,Behrooz A. Akbarnia,Pooria Salari,Daniel Oliveira,George H. Thompson,John B. Emans,Muharrem Yazici,David L. Skaggs,Suken A. Shah,Patricia Kostial,Paul D. Sponseller +11 more
TL;DR: Significant practice variation exists in growing rod treatment, but there is some consensus on indications for surgery including curve size, diagnosis and age, and lengthening intervals and final fusion methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanical comparison of different anchors (foundations) for the pediatric dual growing rod technique
TL;DR: A foundation composed of four pedicle screws implanted in two adjacent vertebral bodies provides the strongest construct in pullout testing, and a cross-link does not seem to enhance fixation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of posterior distraction forces on anterior column intradiscal pressure in the dual growing rod technique
Andrew Mahar,Andrew Mahar,Nima Kabirian,Behrooz A. Akbarnia,Michael Flippin,Tucker Tomlinson,Patricia Kostial,Ramin Bagheri +7 more
TL;DR: Posterior distraction forces result in anterior disc separation and are distributed across multiple levels rather than delivered to the disc immediately adjacent to a foundation, which may assist with curve control and may affect vertebral growth.
