Hi,

In the medical field, the grading of anterolisthesis typically refers to the severity of the condition. Anterolisthesis is a condition where a vertebra in the spine slips forward in relation to the vertebra below it. However, it's important to note that grading systems may vary slightly among medical professionals and institutions.

The most commonly used grading system for anterolisthesis is the Meyerding grading system, which categorizes the condition into four grades based on the percentage of slippage:

- Grade 1: 0-25% slippage
- Grade 2: 26-50% slippage
- Grade 3: 51-75% slippage
- Grade 4: 76-100% slippage

Therefore, an 11mm anterolisthesis would fall in grade 1.

I hope your query is clear now. Thank you.
