Prospective evaluation of mechanomyography versus triggered electromyography for intraoperative assessment of cortical breaches during instrumented lumbar surgery
tEMG and MMG demonstrate high and equivalent accuracy to detect cortical breaches intraoperatively. Adequate utilization of either technique may enhance pedicle screw placement accuracy, reducing intraoperative complications and improving surgical outcomes.
