Affected by a rare scoliosis, never diagnosed before, a 5-year-old girl weighing just 11 kilos underwent an innovative correction surgery at the Regina Margherita hospital in Turin. For the first time on such a case, magnetic growth bars have been used, which correct scoliosis without performing subsequent surgery for lengthening. The minimally invasive technique allowed the patient to resume normal life after a week.
