Trial design {8}
This study is a randomised controlled single-blind interventional 2-arm parallel-group superiority trial utilising 1:1 allocation ratio comparing ACLR with suture tape augmentation (ST-ACLR) to standard hamstring ACLR technique (ACLR) with femoral adjustable cortical fixation and tibial interference screw. This study is a superiority study with the hypothesis that ACL reconstruction with suture tape augmentation is superior to standard ACL reconstruction technique. All patients meeting inclusion criteria will be randomised to a treatment arm in the operating room following confirmation of exclusion criteria at arthroscopy. All components of the study will be undertaken at a single institution. All patients will be followed up to 2 years post-operatively.
