  • Title: Growth and the tethered cord syndrome.
    Author: Begeer JH, Schreinemachers AL, Terwisga PH.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr Surg; 1992 Dec; 2 Suppl 1():23-5. PubMed ID: 1489740.
    Abstract:
    We investigated the role of growth in relation to the tethered cord syndrome. By investigation of the growth curve in relation to the operation date we could not establish a period of increased growth preceding the operation date. Thus the operation date was not related to periods of increased length growth. Overstretching with microtraumata of the myelum may be a more important factor.
