Case Reports
Continuous electromyographic monitoring to detect nerve root injury during thoracolumbar scoliosis surgery.
The results of intraoperative monitoring during a case of nerve root injury sustained from scoliosis surgery to the thoracolumbar spine are described. ⋯ The authors of this study recommend electromyographic monitoring of appropriate lumbosacral myotomes in addition to somatosensory-evoked potentials during this type of procedure.
