English
Authors' recommendations:
There were no studies comparing the Shilla system or the MAGEC rods to current dual growing rods. Data from two studies with methodological limitations showed that the MAGEC rods can provide adequate curve correction and spine distraction, with no major complications. MAGEC dual rods seem to have better clinical benefits than MAGEC single rod systems. The instrumental cost of the MAGEC system is higher than the current growing rods.
