Introduction Treatment Scoliosis Growing Spine= Challenging Observation Curve progression Arrest pulmonary development Cast treatment Skin breakdown Inhibit chest wall development Early Fusion Inhibit trunk and thoracic development Fusionless Technology Allow thoracic and pulmonary development Growing Rod Technique (GR) Unacceptably high complication rates?

Results Kaplan-Meier Survival Analysis Total complications vs. Procedures 50% survivorship at 7 surgeries Wound Complications vs. Procedures 90% survivorship at 7 surgeries 40% survivorship at 13 surgeries Odds Ratio: Complication vs. Procedure 24% increased complication risk each additional procedure (Odds Ratio=1.24, 95% Confidence Interval: 1.07, 1.44, p=0.005) Odds Ratio: Complication vs. Age 13% decrease complication risk each year increased age initial surgery (Odds Ratio=0.87, 95% Confidence Interval: 0.75, 1.00, p=0.057).

Conclusions Growing Rod Complications Procedure vs. Treatment Acceptable complication rate per procedure? Comparable to AIS (Carreon et al JBJS 2007) 19% vs. 15.4% Complication rate correlates with number procedures Anticipate complication Council parents

Conclusions Complications ≠ Surgery Complications manageable by PLAN Steps to minimize Complications UNPLAN Dual Rods Reduce implant complications Reduce implant UNPLAN Submuscular Rods Reduce wound complications
