Mean Pain on Movement Score
Mean pain on movement score was defined as the mean of the pain on movement score over Days 1 to 5 post-surgery. Pain experienced by participant during passive flexion through 90 degree and passive abduction through 30 degree at operated hip joint was evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10 where, 0= no pain and 10= worst possible pain.
Time frame: Every 12 hours from Day 1 to Day 5 post-surgery
Mean Daily Pain Score
Mean daily pain score was defined as the mean of daily pain score over Days 1 to 7 and Days 8 to 14 post-surgery. Daily Pain Rating Scale (DPRS): participant rated 11-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) during past 24-hour period. Higher score indicates greater level of pain.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 7, Day 8 to Day 14 post-surgery
Mean Daily Sleep Interference Score
Mean daily sleep interference score was defined as the mean of daily sleep interference numeric rating scale (NRS) score over Days 1 to 5 post-surgery. Daily Sleep Interference Scale (DSIS): participant rated pain during past 24-hour period on NRS ranging from 0 (pain does not interfere with sleep) to 10 (pain completely interferes with sleep). Higher score indicates a greater level of sleep disturbance. Self-assessment performed daily on awakening prior to taking study medication.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 5 post-surgery
Mean Anxiety Visual Analogue Scale (A-VAS)
Mean anxiety visual analogue scale (VAS) was defined as the mean of VAS score on the day of surgery and over Days 1 to 5 post-surgery. Participants measured their degree of anxiety over past 24 hours on a VAS of 0 to 100, where 0 = not at all anxious to 100 = extremely anxious.
Time frame: Day 0 to Day 5 post-surgery

Participant was encouraged each day (from Day 3) to attempt walking depending upon the degree of pain on standing. The first day on which the participant was able to walk for 5 steps was the day of mobilization. Median time to mobilization (in hours) was calculated till the day of mobilization.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 5 post-surgery
Number of Participants With Rescue Medication Usage
Rescue medications were used for participants with moderate or severe resting pain. Fentanyl injection (25 microgram \[mcg\] intravenous bolus to a maximum dose of 3 milliliter/day), paracetamol tablet (15 milligram/kilogram orally to a maximum dose of 45 milligram/kilogram/day) were used as rescue medications.
Time frame: Day 0 to Day 6 post-surgery
Number of Participants With Neuropathic Pain
ID Pain questionnaire was used to assess neuropathic pain. 6 items questionnaire, did pain feel like: (1)pins and needles (2)hot/burning (3)numb (4)electrical shocks (5)is pain made worse with touch of clothing or bed sheets (6)is pain limited to your joints. "Yes" response to questions 1-5 were scored as 1, while a "yes" response to question 6 was scored as -1. "No" response were scored as 0. Overall score range -1 to 5.Higher score more indicative of pain with a neuropathic component. Number of participants with score 2 or more (which indicated nerve pain) were reported.
Time frame: Day 90, Day 180 post-surgery
