[Lumbar spondylarthrosis].

The results are presented of pathomorphological studies and clinical examinations of 572 patients with lumbar zygo-apophyseal joint arthrosis using arthrography, intraarticular treatment- and- diagnostic blockades, intracutaneous joint denervation and surgical treatment of arthrogenous lumbar canal stenosis. Based on the data obtained, the pathogenetic classification of lumbar spondyloarthrosis has been elaborated and presented in the given paper.

[Single-stage total removal of the cervical vertebrae in plasmacytoma].

The article includes the description of successful case of surgical treatment of a patient (53 years old) with VC plasmocytoma, complicated with upper paraparesis, tetanoid paraplegia and pelvic disturbances. The patient has been subjected to complete removal of VC in one stage of 2 accesses. The patient's spine has been fixed by means of implant, made of corundum porous ceramic, metal plate and lavsan band. A year after the operation--no tumor recurrence, the patient walks without additional support. In the process of discussion of the given observation the authors suggest that the technical difficulties of the operation are quite surmountable and its expediency is obvious.

[Arthrographic changes in the lumbar intervertebral joints in osteochondrosis].

The data of pathomorphologic investigations of intervertebral ++ joints of the lumbar++ part of spine in case of osteochondrosis and in connection with age are presented in the article. 32 arthrograms of ++ intervertebral++ joint, taken in the patients' lifetime, have been analyzed. The special features of morphologic changes have been revealed and their connection with the clinical signs of osteochondrosis has been determined.

[The effect of the group and individual characteristics of the vertebrae on their strength in experimental compression fractures].

The authors give an account of their investigation into the strength characteristics of the vertebrae preparations depending on a number of geometric characteristics of the vertebral bodies, the biological state of the bone tissue (osteoporosis, degenerative and dystrophic changes) and their group belonging. A number of factors has been revealed in some parameters of which it is possible to determine the dynamics of the state of the support function of the injured segment in the modelling of compressive fractures of the vertebral bodies. The results obtained by the authors allow to specify the literature data concerning the strength properties of the compressed vertebral body.
