Introduction:
Early-onset spinal deformities present multiple challenges to the surgeon. They may be rapidly progressive and unresponsive to conservative treatment, necessitating surgical intervention at an early age.
Materials And Methods:
This text attempts to provide a review of current literature and to summarize the authors' opinions.
Results:
This paper attempts to concisely review available literature regarding the growing rod's inception, evolution, technique, results, and complications and answers some of the controversy still surrounding it.
Conclusions:
The growing rod is one of the first, most evolved, most popular and one of the most heatedly discussed technique of fusionless spinal instrumentation.
