 Complications Arising from MAGEC Rods

The main issue with the MAGEC rods is endcap separation, which can corrode these rods. A 4-year follow-up study on early onset of scoliosis who were implanted with these rods showed that 75% of patients required revision surgery to correct the symptoms arising from these defective rods.

The clinical impact of NuVasive MAGEC implants may include:

• Quick degradation of implant components, which means they will no longer function properly.
• Toxic titanium alloy debris may get released into surrounding tissue, which may cause metal poisoning or metallosis.
• Fracture, corrosion, or migration of the metallic implants.

These complications can cause pain and discomfort. Additionally, they also jeopardize the health of individuals who are already dealing with a delicate spine. If you or your child were injured by defective MAGEC rods, you may be able to hold them legally and recover financial damages for the health hazards incurred.
