Aim:

To determine the efficacy and safety of the Magec system in early onset scoliosis (EOS).

Methods:

In 2011, 6 males and 2 females had Magec rods, with an average age of 8.5 years (2.9–12.7 years), 7 patients had dual rods, and 1 had single. The main cause of EOS was idiopathic scoliosis (n=6), followed by Congenital (n=1), and Syndromic (n=1). Average follow up was 19.4 months (14–26 months). 4 of these patients had their previous Paediatric Isola growing rods exchanged to Magec, and 1 patient had an exchange from single to Dual Magec rods.
