Objective: to develop a method for the differential diagnosis of age-related dystrophic changes and also changes arising from functional overload on the iliolumbar, long dorsal sacroiliac and sacrotuberous ligaments. Material and methods . The iliolumbar, long dorsal sacroiliac ligaments and sacrotuberous ligaments taken from 101 corpses including 65 men and 36 women aged 24-83. Results. The data describing the intensity of the dystrophic changes in the iliolumbar, long dorsal sacroiliac and sacrotuberous ligaments for different age periods have been collected. Conclusion . The comparison of a particular patient’s results on Bonar scale with the permissible age-related changes makes it possible to differentiate between the age-related changes and those resulting from the functional overload.
