The Meyerding classification for grading spondylolisthesis only applies to?

Explanation:
The Meyerding grading system measures forward slipping of a vertebra over the one below on a lateral spine radiograph. It is specific to anterolisthesis, not posterior or lateral slips. The grades I to V reflect the percent of the upper vertebra that has slipped forward: I 0–25%, II 25–50%, III 50–75%, IV 75–100%, V >100% (spondyloptosis).
