Genant Vertebral Fracture Grade
Genant semiquantitative vertebral-fracture grade (1993): grade 0-3 by vertebral height loss (< 20%, 20-25%, 26-40%, > 40%).

Example
- Vertebral height loss
- 30 %
Result: Genant grade 2 — 30% height loss, moderate (26-40%).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- 0 (< 20%)
- No fracture.
- 1-3 (>= 20%)
- Mild (20-25%) / moderate (26-40%) / severe (> 40%) vertebral height loss. A radiographic grade, not a diagnosis.
What you enter
- Vertebral height loss
