Statistical methods for primary and secondary outcomes {20a}
Side-to-side difference in anterior tibial translation (the primary outcome), overall ACL-RSI, EQ5D-5L, Marx activity scales, IKDC and KOOS-QOL will be calculated as means, with measures of dispersion reported as standard deviation. Differences between groups will be reported as mean differences, with dispersion reported with confidence intervals. Data normality will be assessed with the Shapiro-Wilk test for continuous parametric assessment. Between-group comparisons, such as the primary outcome of mean difference in GNRB anteroposterior laxity at 2 years, will be assessed with independent samples
