All continuous variables are reported as mean (range). Radiographic measurements of the two groups were compared using repeated-measures analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey's honest significant difference tests. Paired t-tests were used to assess changes in the radiographic measurements from immediately after surgery to the most recent follow-up. Statistical analyses of the data were performed using JMP12 statistical software (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA).
