Figure 2. The trend of the Functional Score increase over time (6 weeks before surgery up to 12 months after surgery) is presented in both groups. In both groups, there was a statistically significant increase in Functional Score (p<0.05) over the displayed period of time. 6wBS–6 weeks before surg ery, JBS–just before surgery, AS–after surgery, 3mAS–3 months after surgery, 6mAS – 6 months after surgery, 12mAS–12 months after surgery.
