Design outcomes

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Partial weight walking. Timepoint: Before discharge. Method of measurement: The amount of distance traveled in two minutes.;Full weight walkinf. Timepoint: After discharg. Method of measurement: The time required to reach the full weight setup of 10 steps.	—

Primary

Measure	Time frame
After the surgery, the level of pain is checked with the help of the vas score questionnaire during a 5-day intervention period as explained below: once during the first 24 hours after the surgery, before applying physiotherapy and TENS, and then Immediately before each session of physiotherapy and TENS application, by asking the participant, the intensity of pain at night and at rest, the amount of pain experienced the night before and while resting in bed or sitting in a chair during the day is evaluated.In the following, the pain level is assessed once in two weeks after the surgery when the patient visits the orthopedic clinic. Also, the pain level will be measured once with the help of VAS 3 months after the surgery. Timepoint: once during the first 24 hours after the surgery, before applying physiotherapy and TENS, and then Immediately before each session of physiotherapy and TENS application, by asking the participant, the intensity of pain at night and at rest, the amount of pain experienced the night before and while resting in bed or sitting in a chair during the day is evaluated.In the following, the pain level is assessed once in two weeks after the surgery when the patient visits the orthopedic clinic. Also, the pain level will be measured once with the help of VAS 3 months after the surgery. Method of measurement: VAS questionnaire to measure the pain level of patients: Visual analog scale (VAS) is a tool that is widely used to measure pain. The patient is asked to indicate their perceived pain intensity (usually) along a 100 mm horizontal line and this rating is then measured from the left edge (= VAS score). VAS score correlates well with acute pain level.	—
