Abstract

Intraoperative specimens of lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) on the various stages of degeneration was studied by the method of atomic-force microscopy using hardware complex (probe nanolaboratory with video microscope Ntegra Prima). New nanostructural data, characterizing the staging of degenerative changes of IVD were revealed.
