Objective & Hypothesis:Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate our dual magnetic controlled growing rod practices in early-onset scoliosis in termsof curve correction and control, and the effect on sagittal and coronal balance until definitive fusion surgery.Material and Methods: Ten patients under 10 years of age who had a major curvature of more than 30 degrees with the diagnosisof early-onset scoliosis and were operated on between 2014-2018 were included in the study.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The mean age of the patients was8.8 years (range, 7-10) and the mean follow-up was 26 months (range, 12-36).

Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate our dual magnetic controlled growing rod practices in early-onset scoliosis in termsof curve correction and control, and the effect on sagittal and coronal balance until definitive fusion surgery.Material and Methods: Ten patients under 10 years of age who had a major curvature of more than 30 degrees with the diagnosisof early-onset scoliosis and were operated on between 2014-2018 were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was8.8 years (range, 7-10) and the mean follow-up was 26 months (range, 12-36). Magnetic rod was distracted at between 12-weekintervals with a mean distraction per patient of 8.2 times (range, 6-12). Cobb angle, T1-T12 kyphosis angle, T1-S1 lengths, thecoronal and sagittal balance were all evaluated.Results: The mean pre-operative, post-operative and last follow-up Cobb angle results were 54°±16 (range, 40-88), 28°±14 (range,10-55) and 30°±16 (range, 10-59), respectively (p
