Grade 0: the pedicle screw is completely in the pedicle.

Grade 1: screw perforation of the pedicle cortex < 2 mm.

Grade 2: screw piercing pedicle cortex ≥ 2 mm and < 4 mm.

Grade 3: the screw penetrated the pedicle cortex ≥ 4 mm (or the screw deviated completely).

A grade of 0 was considered the ideal screw position, a grade of 0 was considered to indicate clinically acceptable precision, and a grade of 3 was considered unacceptable.

Grade A, without proximal joint invasion; Grade B, with proximal articular surface invasion < 1 mm; and Grade C, with proximal articular surface invasion.
