Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinical success of graft fixation up to 6 months after surgery, defined by the absence of additional, unplanned interventions on the graft fixation method on compliant patients. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (1) Number of adverse device effects and serious adverse device effects (ADEs/SADEs) up to 24 months after surgery. (2) Clinical success of the graft fixation method up to 24 months after primary surgery, defined as the absence of additional unplanned interventions required on the graft fixation method on compliant patients. (3) Quality of life before and 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery, assessed by the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. (4) PROMs before and 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery: Tegner, IKDC, Lysholm for ACL, MCL, LCL, POL, patellar tendon, and ITB, respectively; and Tegner, Lysholm, Kujala, and BPII 2.0 for MPFL. (5) Knee stability at 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery: ACL, Lachman test with Lachmeter; MCL, valgus stress test; LCL, varus stress test; POL, abduction test at 30° flexion and maximum extension; patellar tendon and MPFL, patellar apprehension test; iliotibial band, Ober's test. (6) Knee range of motion at 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery assessed by the normal-zero method. | — |
