Continuous values were analyzed by linear mixed model with Bonferroni post hoc analysis. Noncontinuous values were analyzed by generalized linear mixed model analysis with Bonferroni post hoc analysis. The overall analysis included baseline and 1 month and 3 months postoperatively (P < 0.001, P < 0.01, P < 0.05).
