  • Notes:

  • Ν indicates that the values are not normally distributed, according to the Shapiro-Wilk test, while N indicates the opposite.

  • (a) indicates that the Student’s t-test was used, (b) indicates that the Mann-Whitney U test was used, while (c) indicated that the Fisher’s exact test was used.

  • TLKSS, KOOS and WOMAC scores: higher the value, better are the results.

  • (*) indicates significance at p <0.05.
