Abstract
An adjustable implant system configured to non-invasively guide bone growth in a patient. The adjustable implant system includes a tether having a first end coupled to a fixed bone anchor and a second end coupled to an adjustable bone anchor. The adjustable bone anchor includes a driver disposed within a housing and the driver is configured to actuate in response to an externally applied magnetic field. The adjustable implant system includes an external adjustment device configured to non-invasively actuate the driver disposed within the adjustable bone anchor. Non-invasive actuation of the driver can cause the adjustable bone anchor to increase or decrease the amount of tension on the tether.
