Varus/Valgus rotation (+ = varus, − = valgus) | High grade laxity | −0.017 |
Low grade laxity | 0.835* | |
Anterior/Posterior translation (+ = anterior, − = posterior) | High grade laxity | −0.126 |
Low grade laxity | −0.397* | |
Distal/Proximal translation (+ = distal, − = proximal) | High grade laxity | −0.445* |
Low grade laxity | −0.363* | |
