Abstract
Patients undergoing primary insertion of magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) compared to Vertical Expandable Prosthetic Titanium Rib (VEPTR) have higher overall complication and implant-related complications per procedure despite similar complication risk per patient. While there was a reduction in total repetitive surgeries in patients with MCGR implants, there was no significant difference in mean unplanned OR visits per patient between the groups.
