Fig. 5.

(a) Medial condyle positions at low load (arrow origin) and at high load (arrowhead). Intact joints move anteriorly about 2.76 mm and medially < 0.5 mm. The tear case allowed the contact points to shift only 2.03 mm anteriorly but 1.54 mm medially. Repair made motion more similar to intact with 2.53 mm anterior and 1.23 mm medial displacement. Arrowhead size is related to displacement distance. (b) Relationship between medial condyle anterior and medial positions. As the condyle moves further medially, it moves less anteriorly. (c) Medial versus lateral condyle displacement in the medial direction. The relation is nearly perfectly 1:1 (dashed line).
