* Significant change between ACL-deficient and normal knees (p < 0.05). Posterior, medial and proximal translations are positive. Anterior, lateral and distal translations are negative. ACLD: ACL-deficient. AP: anterior-posterior, ML: medial-lateral, PD: proximal-distal. MC: medial condyle, LC: lateral condyle.
