  • ↵* The relationship between Luo classification and IS index values were calculated using Kruskal-Wallis Test,

  • ↵† the median values of the groups were given,

  • ↵‡ post hoc analyses between binary groups were analyzed using Mann Whitney-U test, IS: Insall-Salvati index,

  • BP: Blackburne-Peel index
