  1. P value: * Mann–Whitney U test, # student t test, ^ adjusted chi−square test.
  2. aSignificant level is 0.05, and significant P values are shown in bold.
  3. bFor the mean time of one-side surgery, JOA score for hip joint function and hip range of motion; if the patient was bilateral, we took the bilateral mean value.
  4. cThe continuous variables used the independent sample t test or Mann–Whitney U test, and the classification variables used the chi−square test
