  1. According to ASIA classification, spinal cord function improvement rate: Group A was 92.9%, and Group B was 90.9%. The p-value of comparison between groups A and B was calculated by Wilcoxon signed-rank test. There was no significant difference between the two groups (preoperation: P = 0.86; last follow-up point: P = 0.98)
