Translational motion in the proximal tibiofibular joint at specific loading conditions, mean and standard deviation (N = 4) in mm. Each loading condition also included 250 N of compressive loading. Positive torques indicate varus and internal rotation of tibia relative to femur, negative torques indicate valgus and external rotation
