  4. Data are presented as means ± standard deviation
  5. A negative value of HKA angle indicated varus alignment
  6. Operation time indicated the time during index revision surgery
  7. Independent sample t test was used for intergroup comparisons (p < 0.05)
  8. *The Fisher exact test was used to compare ratios between the groups
