A comparison of the average menisci angles and , forces FM-L and relative medio-lateral bone translation u.

The medio-lateral constraint forces FM-L were calculated for the models with a constrained medio-lateral relative bone motion. A positive value of u denoted the medial relative translation of the femur with respect to the tibia. Intact model with the original geometry of the menisci; models MMH↑, MMH↑↑ with an increased height of the medial meniscus; models MMH↓, MMH↓↓ with a decreased height of the medial meniscus; models LMH↑, LMH↑↑ with an increased height of the lateral meniscus; models LMH↓, LMH↓↓ with a decreased height of the lateral meniscus.
