Abbreviations: NRSR numerical rating scale at rest, NRSW numerical rating scale at walking, PDQ pain disability questionnaire, PGE2 prostaglandin E2, IL interleukin, TNF-α tumor necrosis factor alpha, T0 24 h before surgery, T1-T4 24, 48, 72 h and 5 days after surgery, respectively. The p-values are presented in their raw, uncorrected form, but the statistical significance for multiple comparisons were further corrected using the conservative Bonferroni p value (0.05/15 = 0.003) to control the family-wise error rate, and p < 0.003 are deemed significant (*)
