Abstract
In long spine surgeries, knee-chest position-associated complications can occur. This report describes a case of suprascapular nerve injury that occurred during the lengthy surgical procedure. It is postulated that excessive scapula, shoulder girdle, and upper arm protraction occurred, resulting in a sling effect compression injury of the suprascapular nerve.
