I was reading through the Furman chapter on SCS trials and found the described technique to be pretty intriguing. Essentially ipsilateral obliquing a touch and caudally tilting as much as possible so that you don't really have to guess where to start like you often do when going out of plane in AP. I have often found that the traditional starting point of 3 o'clock one and a half pedicle belows often isn't a flat enough angle, particularly on larger patients.
Does anyone do their trials with this technique? And pros and cons to the more traditional approach taught at workshops?
