This work presents the results of the study of morphometric characteristics of anatomical structures of spinal motion segments of normal lumbar spine. The study of the structure of articular processes of the vertebrae of the lumbar spine revealed articular processes of different lengths. In relation to the overlying the intervertebral space and the body of the overlying vertebra all the articular processes are divided into long, medium and short. The tips of the long articular processes are outside the boundary between the lower and middle third, and even reach the middle of the body of the overlying vertebra. The tips of the short articular processes projected within the intervertebral space. The tips of the medium articular processes – are in the range of end plate to the boundary between the lower and middle thirds of the overlying vertebra. Evaluated the frequency of identified structural variants of the according to sex of the patients.
