Implementation {16c}
The allocation sequence will be developed by an independent statistician. It will be integrated into the REDCap automated randomisation platform and will be blinded to all other investigators. Enrolment of participants will be overseen by the lead surgeons, and associate investigators ST and LB, and will be carried out by associate investigators LH and EN. Randomisation and assignment to the intervention arm will be performed intraoperatively, following assessment and management of concomitant cartilage and meniscal injuries by the associate investigators LB and ST.
