The overall kinematics at injury were knee moderately flexed (45.9\u00b0\u00b1 21.7\u00b0), abducted (4.3\u00b0\u00b1 5.1\u00b0), and externally rotated (3.0\u00b0\u00b1 6.4\u00b0); trunk shallowly flexed (17.4\u00b0\u00b1 12.5\u00b0) and rotated and tilted toward the injured side; and hip flexed (32.0\u00b0\u00b1 18.7\u00b0), abducted (31.1\u00b0\u00b1 12.0\u00b0), and slightly internally rotated (6.6\u00b0\u00b1 12.2\u00b0).
