Abstract
In the experimental animals, the observed electrical impedance depended on the distance of screws from the neural structures and not on the integrity of the pedicle cortex. The screw-triggered EMG technique did not reliably discriminate the presence or absence of bone integrity after pedicle screw placement. The response intensity was not related to the type of interposed tissue.
