Blood cell counts and NLR prior to (Pre) and one day following (1-d) TKA and UKA. a Neutrophil counts were significantly (bar, p < 0.001 vs Pre) increased following TKA and UKA. The neutrophil increase was not significantly (p = 1.00) different between TKA and UKA on 1-d. b Lymphocyte counts were significantly decreased following TKA (*p < 0.01 vs Pre) and UKA (*p < 0.01 vs Pre). The lymphocyte decrease was significantly more pronounced ($ p = 0.001) following TKA compared to that after UKA. c The NLRs were significantly increased following TKA (*p < 0.001 vs Pre) and UKA (*p < 0.001 vs Pre). The NLR increase was significantly ($ p = 0.02) more pronounced after TKA compared to UKA. Data are presented as mean (SD)
