Description
Prudhvi Kodali and David Skaggs write to the editor in this 2026 letter about a study of magnetically controlled growing rods. The study covered early-onset scoliosis in children with spinal muscular atrophy. The writers report that patients at their center lost the ability to walk after rods were extended to the pelvis. They saw no such losses when constructs stopped short of it. They note similar reports from other centers and ask the study's authors directly: did any of their patients lose ambulation when fused to the pelvis?
