Interventions

This trial is a single-center, prospective, parallel group, randomized controlled superiority trial without crossover, factorial or single-arm design. Participants are allocated 1:1 to an intervention
surgeons cannot be blinded because of the distinct surgical instruments and procedures involved, and therefore they are excluded from follow-up scoring and statistical analysis. Randomization and allo
a 5-minute break was mandatory if the limit was exceeded. A STORZ 30° arthroscope system with 60 mmHg normal saline irrigation pressure was used for all cases. Preoperative X-ray and 3D CT were perfor
