By using the theory of real closed fields and a result of \textit{S. Shelah} [Isr. J. Math. 9, 473-487 (1971; Zbl 0226.02045)] related to the number of nonisomorphic models of an unstable theory, it is proved that for any integer \(n\geq 3\) there exist \(2^{(2^{\aleph_0})}\) orthocomplementations leading to nonisomorphic structures of orthomodular lattices on the lattice of all subspaces of the vector space \(\mathbb{C}^n\). A generalization of the proved result to the case of other structures related to orthomodular lattices as e.g. orthosymmetric ortholattices is suggested.
