The study enrolled 25 patients in six hospital centers across three countries. Minimally-invasive surgery is initially used to implant the MAGEC distracting rod into the child’s spine. The implant is then adjusted over time using a non-invasive remote control to help straighten the patient’s spine as they grow.
Ellipse will continue to follow the patients in this study over the next several years.
