The abscissa is 48 h after operation, the 7^th d and the 3^rd month, respectively, and the ordinate is activities of daily living (ADL) and visual analogue scale (VAS) score. A: The ADL scores of patients in the two groups kept rising. There was no significant difference in the ADL scores of patients in the two groups at 48 h and 7^th d after surgery. At the 3^rd month of reexamination, the ADL scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (67.48 ± 14.69 vs 59.40 ± 16.06); B: The VAS scores of the two groups decreased significantly, and there was no significant difference between the groups at each time node. ADL: Activities of daily living; VAS: Visual analogue scale.
