Electrical stimulation properties of carbon fiber versus titanium pedicle screw instrumentation: illustrative case
Surgeons and intraoperative monitoring teams should be aware of lower EMG stimulation thresholds for CF screws than titanium. Additional adjuncts, such as intraoperative imaging, may be helpful in these cases. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25786.
