Well, the only refs I've found re this type of procedure is regarding "subpedicle screws", nothing at all on "subpedicle wiring/wires". All refs regarding wiring seem to refer to "sublaminar".

So perhaps the writer got his/her wires crossed!

Then again, these refs show that there is a debate going on about the efficiency of thoracic pedicle screws versus sublaminar wiring.

Sue's evidence suggest that in this instance it should be "sublaminar wiring"...
