Abstract
In a series of 748 traditional growing rod patients the overall rate of post-op neurological deficit was 0.45%, and the rate of permanent deficit was 0.05%. Neurological events occurred in all types of procedures including routine lengthenings. It is recommended IOM be utilised as a default for all distraction-based surgeries including lengthenings.
