Abstract
Spinal cord monitoring is routinely practised in over 50% of UK centres performing surgical correction of scoliosis1. There is much in common in the technique used by different centres, most using the somatosensory evoked potential technique, but one notable difference is the site of stimulation used. Some use the common peroneal (CP) nerve2 and others the posterior tibial (PT) nerve at the level of the knee3.
