scoliosis. doreen gentzler has details on this magic device that's helping children live better lives. >> it does seem like magic for the people who are getting it. skoeg joel owe scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that typically happens in children before they reach their growth spurt. in some cases it's so severe that the child needs multiple back surgeries to fix the curve. now there's a new treatment that stops the need for all those operations. >> waiting room. snoost thr 8-year-old selena. she's a vibrant, energetic little girl with a will of her own and a smile that brightens up the whole room. but she'll most likely spend her life in a wheelchair. that's because she had muscular dystrophy, a disease that has caused not only muscle loss but severe scoliosis in her spine. >> it was bad. it was affecting her breathing. it was pushing down on her lungs. >> reporter: doctors implanted a rod in salina's spine to help fix some of the curve. her mother christina, says it

was a rough surgery and it wasn't a permanent solution. she'd have to get new rods every few months as she grew taller. and that meant a lot more surgeries. >> every time you put one of these children or any child with muscular dystrophy under anesthetic you have to sbuintubate and take over lung function. putting them under by itself it's hard hard on the child, hard on the family. it's hard on the moms. >> reporter: but before salina could undergo a second surgery, the food and drug administration approved a new treatment called the magec rod, a titanium implant that is lengthened on its own using magnets and an external remote control that eliminates the need for more surgery. >> it's so much easier on them. it's so much easier on the families. and our rate of infection has gone down. >> reporter: dr. shannon kelly is an orthopedic surgeon at children's national health system. she says with the old rods frequent surgeries meant a high

risk of infection. in fact many children have eight surgeries over the course of four or five years, and their risk of getting an infection is about 50%. today salina is getting her magic rod lengthened. it takes just a few minutes for doctors to press this device on her back and lengthen the rod just a centimeter or so. >> it doesn't hurt. she seays it like tingles or feels warm. >> reporter: her mother says salina will need a new set of magic rods in about two years when she grows taller but that's a much better option than the number of surgeries she would have had. she's hoping a straighter spine will not only be better for her health but will give her confidence as she gets older. >> we've raised her, you know, you're not different. you're -- you know, you're differently abled but you're no different than anybody else. >> salina she's adorable. this giese device is really forave severe scoliosis. rods don't cure the child but

they do help keep their torsos in proportion to their arms and can help aleve problems. and giving up up all those surgeries that were necessary before is a huge bonus. wendy? >> certainly is. thank you, do recent. one of the first signs of spring has come to d.c. today. the environmental film festival. with 160 films. this is the largest film festival of its kind in the world. and for 23 years it's been in our backyard. the environmental film festival is bringing more than 60 filmmakers to town as well. for discussions and viewings. lit transport you to some of the world's spectacular places and allow you to get close to some of the planet's more mystical creatures. you will find these films in dozens of venues around the area and almost all of the showings they are free. the environmental film festival starts today and runs till march 29th. find the festival's schedule on the nbc washington app. just search "film festival."
