Excerpt

Thank you for taking interest in our article [1]. It is evident that this subject has been the author’s research focus for the past several years. We have been using motor evoked potentials (MEP) for lumbar plexus monitoring since 2010. We did publish this technique in literature in 2011 [2], in a textbook [3] and also did present this research at several meetings [4‐6], where we too came to a similar conclusion that femoral nerve injuries during LLIF were being missed on EMG monitoring because the mechanism of injury was prolonged compression rather than nerve irritation. …
