Publications by authors named "Richard John Mannion"

Object: The authors assessed the accuracy of placement of lumbar transpedicular screws by using a computer-assisted, imaged-guided, minimally invasive technique with continuous electromyography (EMG) monitoring.

Methods: This was a consecutive case series with prospective assessment of procedural accuracy. Forty-seven consecutive patients underwent minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion and placement of pedicle screws (PSs).
