Within the population studied after the exclusion criteria we obtained a sample of 48 patients where it was demonstrated by statistical analysis, obtaining frequencies and percentages, means and standard deviation, elaboration of double-entry tables, statistical significance with the Chi-square test the results that will be exposed below. Regarding sex, complications occurred in 31 male patients, representing 65% of the sample compared to females by 17 (35%) patients, data that validates the current study since in various literatures they confirm that there is predominance in the male sex being the biggest factor triggering the physical effort made in 39.6% as reflected in our statistics.
