Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the potential of the use of a diagnostic puncture for the analysis of intensity of dystrophic changes in ilio-lumbar, sacro-iliac, and sacro-tuberal ligaments. Material and methods. The work presents the comparison of the results of the semi-quantitative morphological evaluation (Bonar scale) of the sectional material and the material obtained during biopsy of the iliac-lumbar, sacroiliac and sacro-ligamentous ligaments from 15 corpses (the average age at death was 64.5 ± 6.5). Results. The comparison of the sectional data and biopsy data detected differences in the evaluations of intensity of dystrophic changes in the part concerning the evaluation of fibroblasts that lead to a decreased final Bonar score by 1 point. Conclusion. Biopsy material can be used for approximate evaluation of intensity of dystrophic changes according to the criteria «interstitial substance», «collagenous fibers» and «vascularization». The evaluation according to the criterion «fibroblastic programed differentiation cells» can be decreased by 1 point, which should be taken in account in the data interpretation.
