Smart Growing Rod Device for the Treatment of Early Onset Scoliosis
Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) occurs in children under 10 years of age and many cases have a higher probability of progression during growth. The EOS has been treated with “growing rod” procedure to avoid interference with spinal growth. Patients have to undergo a series of operations to have the rod …

Quantitative pathophysiology in rabbit models of early onset scoliosis and expansion thoracoplasty
Early onset deformity of the spine and chest wall (initiated <8 years of age) is associated with declining respiratory function and increased morbidity at adulthood relative to adolescent onset deformity of comparable severity. In young children it is presumed that inhibition of thoracic growth …

TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALIZATION AND FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING SPINAL IMPLANTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF EARLY-ONSET PEDIATRIC SCOLIOSIS
Scoliosis affects approximately 3% of the US population. In order to treat early-onset scoliosis, clinicians utilize lengthening rods to fix the deformed scoliotic curvature. The implant surgery is followed by adjustment surgery, performed every six months or one year to adjust the lengthening rods …

Method to Determine Compressive Bending Performance in Static and Fatigue Loading for Pediatric Non-Fusion Devices
Background: Early onset scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine and trunk – diagnosed before the age of 10 – and occurs in 3 to 5 out of 100,000 infant and juvenile populations. Surgical intervention is often necessary for pediatric patients with severe curvatures. During thesis …
