Isigaba sezimbangela	Izibonelo
Ukulimala kanye Nokulimala	Izingozi zezimoto Izingozi ngesikhathi udlala ezemidlalo Ukuwa Ukuphuka kwamathambo
Izimo Zempilo Ezibuthakatha Amathambo	I-Osteoporosis - amathambo anciphile futhi aqhekeka kalula I-Osteoarthritis - ukuvuvukala kwamalunga I-Avascular Necrosis - ukulahleka kwegazi emathanjeni I-Osteomyelitis - ukutheleleka kwamathambo Ukuntuleka kwe-Vitamin D kanye nezifo ezihlobene nayo Isifo se-Paget sethambo I-Osteopenia - ukwehla kobuningi bamathambo
Amathumba Amathambo Angewona Awemvelo	Ama-cysts ethambo le-Aneurysmal Ama-Osteoblastoma
Izinhlobo Zomdlavuza	Umdlavuza wamathambo I-Osteosarcoma I-Leukemia Umdlavuza osakazekele emathanjeni usuka kwenye indawo (umdlavuza we-Metastatic)

Udokotela uthola kanjani imbangela yalobu buhlungu?

Udokotela wakho uzoqala ngokukubuza umbuzo onemininingwane mayelana nobuhlungu bakho bese ekuxilonga. Ngemuva kwalokho, angenza izivivinyo eziningana ukuze athole imbangela eqondile, njengokuthi:

I-X-ray: Ukuhlola ukuthi amathambo aphukile noma aphumile yini.
I-MRI scan: Bheka ngokucophelela izicubu ezithambile ezizungeze amathambo, imisipha, kanye namalunga.
I-CT scan: Thola izithombe ze-3D ezinemininingwane zamathambo.
Ukuskena nge-ultrasound: Kwezinye izimo, bheka izicubu.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ungase ube nokuhlolwa okukhethekile okukala ubukhulu bamathambo akho. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi i-DEXA scan .Kubizwa ngokuthi yinye. Izimo ezifana ne-osteoporosis zingabangela ukuthi amathambo abe mancane futhi angaqini. I-DEXA scan ingalinganisa ukuthi amathambo akho aqine kangakanani.
