In cases of multilevel anterior cervical spine decompression where intervening vertebral bodies need to be incorporated into the anterior plate construct, it may be difficult to apply the plate flush against the entire anterior cortical surface of the spine segment. Some have suggested using the levering property of bicortical screws to "pull" the body against the plate. Others have recommended contouring the anterior cervical plate with a plate bender. The objective of this work was to describe a novel technique using the adjustable depth tap provided in the Atlantis plating system for achieving cervical spine alignment against the lordotic plate after multilevel anterior decompression.
