Comparison of HSS scores and ROM scores. A. The difference between the preoperative HSS scores of patients in the two groups was not significant; the HSS scores of patients in the two groups increased at discharge, and the HSS scores gradually increased with time; the HSS scores of the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Repeated measure ANOVA: Ft
=42.139 (P < 0.001), Fg
=15.133 (P < 0.001), Fi
=9.823 (P < 0.001); pairwise comparison: the HSS scores of study group at discharge, 1st month after surgery, 3rd month after surgery were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). B. The difference in preoperative ROM scores between the two groups was not significant; the ROM scores decreased to the lowest in 3rd d after surgery, increased at discharge, and gradually increased over time. Repeated measure ANOVA: Ft
=48.320 (P < 0.001), Fg
=12.539 (P < 0.001), Fi
=1.513 (P=0.216); pairwise comparison: the ROM scores of the study group were significantly higher after surgery than those of the control group (P < 0.05).
