Kuputsika kukuvara kwetsandanyama kunokonzerwa nekuputika kwenhamba huru kana shoma yemhasuru fibers (masero anokwanisa kukokana ari mumamhasuru). Icho chiri chechipiri kune kuedza kwehukuru hukuru kupfuura mhasuru inogona kumira uye inowanzoperekedzwa neropa remunharaunda (iyo inoumba hematoma).

Izwi rekuti "kuparara" rine nharo; icho chikamu che empirical kliniki classification umo tinowana curvature, contracture, elongation, dhiri uye kubvarura kana kuputika. Kubva zvino zvichienda mberi, nyanzvi dzinoshandisa imwe mhando, iyo yaRodineau naDurey (1990)¹. Izvi zvinobvumira mutsauko pakati pezvinhanho zvina zveronda retsandanyama remukati memavambo, ndiko kuti kuitika kwega uye kusatevera kurova kana kucheka. Kuparara kunoenderana zvakanyanya nedanho rechitatu uye rakafanana nekubvarura tsandanyama.
