Figure Legend:
The comparison of the ACL stress-strain curve under three different constitutive models: (a) the uniaxial material behavior; (b) the transverse material behavior. The difference between the uniaxial material behaviors of model II and model III was so slight that difficult to show clearly in the figure. However, the transverse material behaviors simulated by the strain energy functions were greatly different.

Figure Legend:
The comparisons of the kinematic result of the tibia in the three models: (a) under 134 N anterior tibial force; (b) under 10 Nm varus tibial torque; (c) under 10 Nm valgus tibial torque. The unit of all the translations was millimeter (mm) and the unit of all the rotation was degree (deg).

Figure Legend:
The comparison of linear regression analyses between the FE simulated and experimental kinematic results. The x- and y-axis (Y1, Y2, and Y3) corresponded to the experimental and FE simulated kinematic results in model I, model II, and model III, respectively. The regression equations showed that the FE analysis results in model III had the strongest correlated relationship with the experimental results (Y3 = 0.8781X + 0.175, R2 = 0.8016).

Figure Legend:
The comparison of linear regression analyses between the FE simulated and experimental force results in ligaments. The x- and y-axis (Y1, Y2, and Y3) corresponded to the experimental and FE simulated force results in model I, model II, and model III, respectively. The regression equations and correlation coefficients showed that the force results simulated by the three FE models were similar.
