Abstract
According to the data of the World Health Organization, osteoporosis takes the fourth place among non-infectious diseases after cardiovascular, oncologic disorders and diabetes mellitus. Clinical manifestations of osteoporosis with the root syndrome are not that different from those of radicular symptoms at degenerative-dystrophic processes in the spine. Our purpose was to study the state of upper extremities bone tissue in patients with clinical manifestations of cervical osteochondrosis. There were 40 patients under our observation diagnosed with cervical osteochondrosis, 26 of them - with stages 1 and 2 of osteochondrosis development, and 14 patients - with stage 3. Conducted densitometry examinations of upper extremities bone tissue revealed correlation between bone tissue state and both the time of the onset of the pathological process and its severity. In patients with stage 3 osteochondrosis, bone tissue mineral density on the affected extremity was lowered down to osteoporosis, and naturally, such cases require further treatment.

Summary
Tsyslyak E.S. 1, Koshkaryova Z.V. 1, Sklyarenko O.V. 1, Arsentieva N.I. 1, Kirienko S.N. 2, Pozdeeva N.A. 1. Our purpose was to study the state of upper extremities bone tissue in patients with clinical manifestations of cervical osteochondrosis. Остеохондроз шейного отдела позвоночника – заболевание, которое молодеет с каждым годом [10]. Мышечная дисфункция приводит к снижению циркуляции крови и лимфы в поражённой зоне [18], усугубляя нарушение кровоснабжения дисков и костной ткани позвонка. Нарушение кровоснабжения костной ткани приводит к снижению её минеральной плотности, а с прогрессированием процесса – к развитию остеопении и остеопороза [3, 19]. Представляется интересным изучение остеопороза костей верхних конечностей у пациентов с остеохондрозом шейного отдела позвоночника с неврологическими выпадениями. Известно, что снижение высоты дисков и тел позвонков приводит к уменьшению роста на 5–15 см, а иногда и больше.
