SUMMARY

A retrospective cohort study of 19 patients of EOS who underwent MCGR rod instrumentation with subsequent serial distractions, measured using ultrasonography. The degree of distraction achieved during each session were analyzed and subgroup analysis done.

HYPOTHESIS

The degree of distraction/ distractibility of the MCGR rod is closely linked to the etiology of EOS. The degree of distraction achieved at each session progressively diminishes with successive distractions.
