Summary

This study tests a new motorized rod that can be implanted in the spine to correct severe scoliosis in children aged 4 to 10. The rod can be lengthened from outside the body, which may reduce the need for frequent surgeries. The goal is to see if the device is safe and works well for straightening the spine while allowing the child to grow.
