Final placement. Final lead placement is obtained by gently retracting the individual electrodes to the desired level. This tends to occur during anchoring naturally, hence, it is advisable to overshoot the electrode position initially prior to final positioning. It is also crucial to note that the end plates of the vertebral bodies are well aligned demonstrating a true AP image. This is visualized by the position of the hemostat clamp which is now shown to be resting underneath the T7 pedicle despite no mechanical manipulation. Thus, the final position of the deployed electrodes is from the inferior aspect of the T8 pedicle to the level of the T10 pedicle.AP, anteroposterior
