Evaluation of the Intrinsic Properties of Pedicle Screws: Do Diameter, Manufacturing and Screw Design Affect Resistance and/or Resistivity

The pedicle screw diameter, composite and design are variables that can affect the threshold of intraoperative electromyographic monitoring. Even though we know that larger diameter objects tend to have less resistance, no study documented the effect that this variable could have on pedicle screw re...
