Abstract

We propose an experimental model of degenerative-dystrophic changes in intervertebral disks of rat tail. The results of X-ray examination and histological studies showed that degenerative changes in the disk tissues caused by experimental compression of intervertebral disks in rat tails are identical to those in humans.
