  1. *According to the results of the Mann–Whitney U test, significance levels for inter-group differences are indicated bypvalues
  2. **Significance levels for measurement differences between days 2 and 7 were determined using the Friedman test: a, b indicate statistically significant differences according to the Bonferroni-corrected post-hoc test
  3. D2E–D7E = difference in edema measurement between postoperative days 2 and 7
  4. DT = dexketoprofen trometamol
  5. DS = diclofenac sodium
  6. SD = standard deviation
