When a concave surface is moving the roll and the glide occur in the same direction and that when a convex surface is moving the roll and glide are opposite.
Here's an example:
If the tibia moves on the femur since it is a concave surface it is said the glide is anterior only; however, is the motion is closed chain and the femur is moving on a stationary tibia then the femur which is a convex surface glides posterior and rolls anterior on the tibia's plateau.
hope this helps!

What is the concave convex rule in the ankle for plantar flexion?
During plantar flexion of the ankle, the talus glides posteriorly in the ankle mortise, causing a relative motion of the tibia and fibula to create a concave-convex relationship. This means the talus acts as the concave surface moving on the convex tibial plafond and fibular notch.
