The structure of human bone slices taken from patients suffering from deforming arthrosis of the hip joint (coxarthrosis) was studied by Raman spectroscopy. Comparative analysis of healthy and sick bone tissues was made on the basis of the intensity ratio of RS bands associated with organic and mineral components. It was shown that coxarthrosis results in a relative increase of an organic component and in a higher degree of substitution of phosphate groups by carbonate ones in the hydroxyapatite lattice.
