COMPLICATION
This will be the first randomised trial to investigate the effect of suture-tape augmentation of ACLR on either objective or subjective outcome measures. The use of suture-tape augmentation in ACLR has been associated with promising biomechanical and animal-level studies, exhibiting equivalent complication profiles to the standard technique, with initial non-comparative clinical studies establishing possible areas of advantage for the technique. The successful completion of this trial will allow for an improved understanding of the in situ validity of tape augmentation whilst potentially providing a further platform for surgical stabilisation of the ACL graft.
