NOTE: Patient positioning and application of the skull clamp can be made with numerous variations.
The patient's final position should be acceptable to the surgeon, taking into account the patient's
anatomy, pressure points, neck flexibility and access to the surgical target.
In the chart above, the ovals representing the patient's head have centerlines drawn on them. The
diagrams show examples of proper and improper applications of the skull clamp. The direction of the
single-pin should point directly through the center point created by the centerlines of the patient's
head with the pins on the two-pin side of the skull clamp being equidistant to the single-pin line of
direction to obtain the highest degree of stability.
