Study Design. Retrospective radiographic study.Objective. To investigate the growth of the vertebrae around distal instrumented vertebra (DIV) in patients with early-onset scoliosis (EOS) who underwent dual growing rod (DGR) treatment.Summary of Background Data. Previous studies indicated that DGR was likely to preserve or even stimulate the spinal growth. However, report pertaining to the effect of growing rod on the growth of individual vertebral body is rare.Methods. The EOS patients treated with DGR who had at least four lengthenings and 5-year follow-up were enrolled. Spine radiographs at index surgery and final follow-up were reviewed. The height, width, and depth of vertebral body from DIV-2 to DIV+2, and the height of the adjacent intervertebral space (IVS) were measured. The percentage of growth was calculated.Results. Thirty-one patients (mean age, 6.2 +/- 2.5 years old) met the inclusion criteria, 74.2% (23/31) of whom were female. The average follow-up was 6.2 years (range, 5.0-10.4 yr). The measured vertebrae were divided into DIV group (n = 65), DIV-group (DIV-1 and DIV-2, n = 60), and DIV+ group (DIV+1 and DIV+2, n = 47). There were 33, 90, and 78 measured IVSs in DIV, DIV-, and DIV+ group, respectively. The total percentage growth of vertebral height was significantly higher in DIVgroup than that in DIV and DIV+ groups (56.6 +/- 20.3% vs. 45.6 +/- 18.0% and 42.7 +/- 16.2%, respectively, P
