Accuracy of robot-assisted pedicle screw insertion in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: is triggered electromyographic pedicle screw stimulation necessary?

Abstract

With precise pre-operative planning, robotic-assisted pedicle screw placement has shown to be a safe and effective method in treating AIS patients as shown by the lack of medial pedicle breach and malpositioned screws. We found no evidence to support combined use of t-EMG for identifying medially malpositioned screws.
