Spine test specimen with dual titanium rod construct. Left: Coronal view (Reproduced from Reference 40, Fig. 1: Bylski-Austrow DI, Glos DL, Bonifas AC, Carvalho MF, Coombs MT, Sturm PF. Flexible growing rods: A pilot study to determine if polymer rod constructs may provide stability to skeletally immature spines. Scoliosis 2015, 10(Suppl 1):O73.) Right: Sagittal view. The rods were anchored using two pairs of pedicle screws at the proximal end, and a second set of two pairs at the distal end. The discs adjacent to the instrumented region at each end were not instrumented
