Results: In this study, the total number of patients was 25, of which 80% were men and 20% were women. Treatment results were evaluated as good or excellent in 15 (60%) patients and had no statistically significant relationship with age and gender. 48% had no pain and lameness, and the others showed different degrees of pain. 96% of the people were able to climb the stairs, but 4% were unable to climb the stairs. 76% of the people could use public transportation, and the rest of the people could not. 40% of the people did not need to use crutches, and the rest depended on crutches to varying degrees.
