Paper #1 Surface Degradation Linked to Actuator Pin Fracture in Magnetically Controlled Growth Rods (MCGRs)?

Our multi-disciplinary team of surgeons and engineers will present our work on retrieval analysis of MCGRs. Our aim is to better understand the in vivo performance of these medical devices using our forensic analysis techniques, combining retrieval analysis, clinical data and imaging, in order to identify surgical, implant and patient (SIP) risk factors.
