Objective: to assess the reproducibility of sonographic and histologic determination of the severity of dystrophic changes in iliolumbar ligament in different age periods. Materials and methods. Iliolumbar ligaments from 31 corpses (at the age from 25 till 90): of them, 20 men (middle age 60.2 ± 9.6) and 11 women (middle age 66 ± 9.4). Results. The criteria making it possible to differentiate moderate and expressed dystrophic changes have been sorted out and the reproducible technique has been defined. Conclusion. The proposed method of sonographic and histologic assessment of severity of the dystrophic changes of iliolumbar ligament has a good reproducibility and can be recommended to be used in practical work.
