Meyerding Spondylolisthesis Grade

Meyerding grade (1932): percent anterior slip = (anterior displacement / caudal-endplate AP width) x 100; grades I-V by 25% bands.

Example

Anterior displacement
14 mm
Caudal-endplate AP width
40 mm

Result: Meyerding grade II — 35% anterior slip.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

I-II (1-50%)
Low-grade spondylolisthesis.
III-V (> 50%)
High-grade (III 51-75%, IV 76-100%, V > 100% spondyloptosis). A radiographic grade, not a diagnosis.
