  2. aData are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. P value was calculated by the Mann-Whitney U test. The adjusted P value was assessed by the multivariate logistic regression (forward likelihood ratio method) regarding operative joint, age, sex, hypertension, and diabetic status. P < 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant
