Flexible growing rods: polymer rods provide stability to -skeletally immature spines
Introduction: Surgical treatments for early onset scoliosis typically require multiple operations and many complications. A more fl exible growing rod construct might result in a more fl exible spine with fewer complications. Polymer rods (polyetheretherketone, PEEK) are relatively fl exible in bending, and therefore might allow for greater range of motion (ROM) during treatment. The purpose of...

Objective Surgical treatments for early onset scoliosis (EOS) typically require multiple operations and many complications. A more flexible growing rod construct might result in a more flexible spine with fewer complications. Polymer rods (polyetheretherketone, PEEK) are relatively flexible in bending, and so might allow for greater range of motion (ROM) during treatment. The purpose of this st...
متن کاملFlexible growing rods: a pilot study to determine if polymer rod constructs may provide stability to skeletally immature spines
BACKGROUND Surgical treatments for early onset scoliosis (EOS), including growing rod constructs, involve many complications. Some are due to biomechanical factors. A construct that is more flexible than current instrumentation systems may reduce complications. The purpose of this preliminary study was to determine spine range of motion (ROM) after implantation of simulated growing rod construc...
متن کاملFlexible growing rods: a biomechanical pilot study of polymer rod constructs in the stability of skeletally immature spines
BACKGROUND Surgical treatments for early onset scoliosis (EOS) correct curvatures and improve respiratory function but involve many complications. A distractible, or 'growing rod,' implant construct that is more flexible than current metal rod systems may sufficiently correct curves in small children and reduce complications due to biomechanical factors. The purpose of this pilot study was to d...
متن کاملBending of flexible magnetic rods.
The flexible inextensible magnetic rod model is applied for the study of bending and buckling deformations of the paramagnetic particle chains linked by polymer molecules. It is shown that the existing experimental results can be reasonably well described by this model which takes into account the normal magnetic forces arising at chain bending deformation. By matching the experimentally observ...
