Anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS) is one of the most common spine surgery performed by neurosurgeons. One of the challenging aspects during ACSS is to achieve a correct visualization and identification of the lower levels specifically below the fifth and sixth cervical vertebras due to the difficulty of penetrating X-ray beams through the shoulders. Several methods such as taping the shoulders throughout the entire case or tying straps around the wrists and pulling them caudally temporally while shooting X-rays have been used trying to improve visualization during surgery. Both of these methods may cause problems such as brachial plexus injury, shoulder dislocations and peripheral nerve injuries.
