Eaton and Littler classification apud Martin-Ferrero et al.2
| Stage | Radiological criteria – Eaton and Littler |
|---|---|
| I | Normal joint contours; the interlining articulate may be widened secondary to laxity or joint effusion |
| II | Slight narrowing of the interlining articulate; joint debris and osteophytes <2 mm Normal ST joint |
| III | Marked degenerative changes with no interlining articulate, geodes, osteophytes, and sclerosis >2 mm; variable degrees of subluxation; normal ST joint |
| IV | Similar to stage III but with degenerative changes of the ST joint |
