Abstract
Analysis of X-ray images of 397 patients suffering from fluorosis showed that 94.0% of cases exhibit degenerative-dystrophic impairments of the lumbar spine; 65.0% of cases – calcification of the anterior longitudinal ligament; and 91.0% of cases – impairments in the form of epicondylitis, periarthrosis, and deforming arthrosis. Impairment of the musculoskeletal system exhibited systemic, multiple, and symmetrical nature.
