Uyazi ngaleli qhawe elincane eliseqakaleni? (Talus Bone)

Wake wabheka iqakala lakho wacabanga, "Leli lunga elincane lisekela kanjani isisindo somzimba wami wonke, lingisize ngigijime, ngigxume, futhi ngihambe?" Kuyamangalisa ngempela. Kukhona iqhawe elithule, kodwa elibaluleke kakhulu kule nqubo emangalisayo. Sizokhuluma ngaye namuhla. Futhi lelo yithambo le-talus.

Kalula nje, iyini ithambo le-talus?

I-talus iyithambo elincane kodwa eliqinile kakhulu elixhumanisa iqakala lakho, umlenze ongezansi, nonyawo. Abanye abantu balibiza nangokuthi i-astragalus. Liyithambo lesibili ngobukhulu ngemuva konyawo lwakho. Ithambo elilodwa kuphela elikhulu kunaleli yithambo lesithende, okuyi-calcaneus.

Cabanga nje, amathambo amabili ayinhloko emlenzeni wakho ongezansi, i-tibia kanye ne-fibula, axhumene nonyawo ngaleli thambo le-talus. Kufana nebhuloho eliphakathi komlenze nonyawo. Lokhu kuxhumana yilokho esikubiza ngokuthi i-ankle joint.

Esinye isici esiyingqayizivele saleli thambo ukuthi alixhumene ngqo nemisipha njengamanye amathambo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi linegazi elilinganiselwe. Ngakho-ke, uma leli thambo liphuka (liphuka), kuthatha isikhathi ukuphola futhi kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi libe nezinkinga. Sizoxoxa ngalokho kamuva.

Yimiphi imisebenzi eyenziwa yileli thambo elincane?

Isisho esithi "Sincane kodwa senza umsebenzi omningi" sifanelana kahle kakhulu nale ntambo yomsila. Uzokuqonda lokho uma ubona ezinye zezinto esizenzayo.

Isimo kanye nezingxenye zethambo le-talus

Uma ubheka ithambo le-talus, libunjwe njengesihlalo sehhashi emhlane. Ingxenye yalo ephezulu igobile. Lonke ithambo limbozwe ungqimba olubushelelezi nolushelelayo olubizwa ngokuthi i-cartilage. Lufana nongqimba 'lwamafutha'. Lapho amathambo egudlana, yilolu ngqimba lwe-cartilage olusiza amalunga ukuba anyakaze kalula ngokunciphisa ukungqubuzana.

Uma odokotela bekhuluma ngaleli thambo, bakhuluma ngezingxenye ezintathu zalo. Lezi zibalulekile olwazini lwakho olujwayelekile.

1. Ikhanda le-Talus: Lena yingxenye engaphambili yethambo. Ixhuma nethambo le-navicular onyaweni.

2. Umzimba we-Talus: Lena yingxenye eyinhloko, enkulu kunazo zonke yethambo. Ingxenye egobile phezu kwalokhu yiyo exhumanisa amathambo amabili omlenze ukuze akhe iqakala.

3. Intamo ye-Talus: Intamo yingxenye encane ephakathi kwekhanda nomzimba.

Uma kwenzeka ulimala eqakaleni futhi uzwa la mazwi ngenkathi ukhuluma nodokotela, manje uzokwazi ukuthola umbono oqondile wokuthi umonakalo ukuphi.

Yiziphi izinkinga ezivamile ezithinta ithambo le-talus?

Njengawo wonke amanye amathambo, ithambo le-talus lingathinteka ezinkingeni nasekulimaleni okuhlukahlukene. Okubili okubaluleke kakhulu kwalokhu ukwaphuka kwamathambo kanye ne-osteoporosis.

1. Ukuphuka Kwethalus

Lokhu ukulimala okukhulu kakhulu ethanjeni le-talus. Ngokuvamile, kudingeka ingozi enkulu kakhulu ukuze kubangele lolu hlobo lokuphuka.

• Ukuwa usuka endaweni ephakeme: Ukuwa usuka esitebhisini, esihlahleni, noma kwenye indawo ephakeme.
• Izingozi zezimoto: Ikakhulukazi ezingozini zesithuthuthu noma lapho ubhuleka kakhulu emotweni.
• Izingozi zemidlalo: Ezemidlalo ezihilela ukugxuma ngokweqile noma ukusonta iqakala.

Cabanga ngomuntu ekhuphuka ileli futhi enza umsebenzi othile, bese eshelela ngokuzumayo ewa. Uma ebeka sonke isisindo sakhe emlenzeni owodwa bese iqakala lakhe ligoba ngaphakathi, ithambo le-talus lingaphuka ngamandla amakhulu.

Izimpawu zokuphuka

• Ubuhlungu obukhulu endaweni yeqakala.
• Ukuvuvukala kweqakala.
• Ukuzizwa ungakhululekile kangangokuthi awukwazi ukuhamba noma ukubeka unyawo lwakho phansi.
• Isikhumba siphenduka sibe luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka noma sibonakale sinamanxeba.
• Ukushintsha kwesimo seqakala noma umuzwa weqhubu elingavamile.

Uma unalezi zimpawu, ikakhulukazi ngemva kwengozi, kufanele uye eMnyangweni Wezimo Eziphuthumayo (ETU) wesibhedlela ngokushesha.

2. I-Osteoporosis

Lokhu kusho nje 'ukuncipha kwamathambo' noma 'amathambo anezimbobo'. Njengoba sikhula, ikakhulukazi kwabesifazane ngemva kokunqamuka kokuya esikhathini, ubuningi bamathambo buqala ukwehla. Ngemuva kwalokho amathambo aba buthakathaka futhi angaphuka kalula. Ngezinye izikhathi, ngisho nalapho uhamba ngendlela evamile, ithambo lingaphuka.

Abantu abaningi bathola ukuthi bane-osteoporosis kuphela ngemva kokuphuka kwethambo, njengoba kungekho zimpawu ezithile ngaphambi kwalokhu.

Ezinye izinkinga

• I-Arthritis: Ukuguguleka nokwephuka kwe-cartilage esihlanganyelweni seqakala kungabangela ubuhlungu kanye nobunzima bokuhambisa ilunga.
• I-Tarsal tunnel syndrome: Izimpawu ezifana nokungazweli kanye nokuthamba onyaweni okubangelwa ukucindezelwa kwenzwa edlula eqakaleni.
• I-Avascular necrosis: Ukufa kwamangqamuzana ethambo ngenxa yokuntuleka kwegazi emathanjeni. Lokhu kuvame ukwenzeka njengenkinga yokuphuka kwe-talus.

Udokotela uthola kanjani ukuthi kunenkinga?

Uma uya kudokotela onesifo sobuhlungu eqakaleni, into yokuqala azokwenza ukukubuza imibuzo. Njengokuthi, ingabe uke waba sengozini, ubuhlungu bunjani, ingabe kukhona ukuvuvukala, bese ehlola iqakala lakho.

Ngemuva kwalokho, ungabhekisela ezivivinyweni ezinjengalezi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi inkinga iyini ngempela.

• I-X-ray:Lesi isivivinyo esilula kakhulu sokuhlola ukuthi kukhona yini ukwaphuka.
• I-CT scan: Lokhu kusiza ukubona ngokucacile ezithombeni ze-3D ukuthi ithambo liphukile yini laba yizicucu nokuthi libekwe kanjani lapho kuqhekeka khona. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ekuhleleni ukuhlinzwa.
• I-MRI Scan: Ngaphezu kwamathambo, lokhu kuhlolwa kusetshenziselwa ukubheka umonakalo kuma-ligaments, cartilage, kanye nezinye izicubu ezithambile ezizungeze ilunga.
• Ukuhlolwa kokuqina kwamathambo (i-DEXA scan): Lokhu kuhlolwa kwenziwa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi une-osteoporosis.

Yiziphi izindlela zokwelapha?

Ukwelashwa kuncike enkingeni onayo.

Ukwelashwa kokuphuka

Ukwelashwa kokuphuka kwethambo kuncike ohlotsheni lokuphuka kwethambo.

• Ukungasebenzi: Uma izingcezu zamathambo zingashukumi, kufakwa ubumba olwenziwe nge-Plaster of Paris (POP) noma i-fiberglass eqakaleni ukuze luvinjelwe ukunyakaza.
• Ukuhlinzwa: Iningi lamathambo aphukile lidinga ukuhlinzwa ukuze kulungiswe izingcezu zamathambo futhi zilungiswe ngezikulufo namapuleti ukuze zingashukumi. Lokhu kusiza ithambo ukuthi liphole kahle futhi kubuyisele ukuhlinzekwa kwegazi.

Ngemva kokuhlinzwa, i-physiotherapy ibalulekile ukuze kancane kancane kubuyelwe ukunyakaza kweqakala, amandla, kanye nokulinganisela.

Ukwelashwa kwe-osteoporosis

Ukwelashwa kwalokhu kugxile ekuvimbeleni ubuthakathaka bethambo nokuqinisa amathambo.

• Ukuzivocavoca: Izinto ezifana nokuphakamisa izinsimbi nokuhamba.
• Amavithamini namaminerali: Izithasiselo ze-calcium ne-vitamin D.
• Imithi: Udokotela wakho angase akunike imithi evimba ukulahleka kwamathambo noma ekhuthaza ukukhula kwamathambo.

Ugcina kanjani wonke amathambo akho, kuhlanganise ne-talus yakho, ephilile?

Bathi, “Ukuqapha kungcono kunokwelapha.” Ngakho-ke kungcono ukugwema izingozi nokulandela indlela yokuphila enempilo.

I-talus iyithambo elincane, kodwa manje cishe usuyaqonda ukuthi ibaluleke kangakanani empilweni yakho yansuku zonke. Ngakho-ke uma uzwa ubuhlungu, ukuvuvukala, noma ukungakhululeki eqakaleni lakho, ungakushayi indiva bese ubona udokotela. Uma kwenzeka ingozi, qiniseka ukuthi uya eMnyangweni Wezimo Eziphuthumayo wesibhedlela (ETU) ngokushesha.
