  1. The NRS scores suggested that patients at rest and at 15°of the hip flexion and extension were lower in the observation than the control group on the 3rd and 7th postoperative days (P < 0.05), values are expressed in mean ± sd. * represents the amount of change about pain scores between the seventh day and the first day of the two groups, no significant diffrence (P > 0.05)
