Open AccessHow do implants overlying the spine influence “The Law of Diminishing Returns” in early-onset scoliosis patients?
The “law of diminishing returns” (LODR) in early-onset scoliosis (EOS) is well-known. We hypothesized that previously observed variations between constructs may be related to the lateral distance that each con...
