Triggered electromyography (t-EMG) is a common technique used during spinal instrumentation in surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. This study tests the validity of t-EMG values obtained with a standard ball-tipped probe after completion of screw placement versus t-EMG values obtained during screw insertion with a powered screwdriver. t-EMG values were collected for screws spanning T7-L5 using both a standard probe and a powered screwdriver.
