Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Comparing the initial tunnel width drilled during the reconstruction and the tunnel width 3 years postoperative. The primary endpoint will be the change in width in (mm) during the follow-up of three years.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To evaluate clinical knee function, the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) are used. For the level of activity we use the Tegner score. Standard clinical parameters will be evaluated and compared between the groups.	—
