. Paci, 15 evaluated effect of AIML resection below the medial meniscus of 5 knees loaded to 1000N in five different position from 0 to 60 ° of flexion. They found a significant difference in terms of mean contact pressure from 20 to 50 ° with a maximum at 40° (3.68 to 4.69 MPa, (?=27.5%) but no significant difference at 0°, 10° and 60 ° flexion, our study, we selected a lower load when our specimens were flexed to 60° (700N) to avoid specimens destruction related to a direct loading on fragile femoral diaphysis

#. Reviewer, Were any specimens excluded? Were there specific inclusion/exclusion criteria? Authors' response ; Our selection process is first based on x-ray/CT evaluation of joint abnormalities/surgeries, we then select specimens from our anatomical collection to limit poor conservation issue and try to include specimens as " young " as possible to be clinically relevant. During this process, more than 100 specimens were screened and final selection was performed on more than 20 specimens with a careful macroscopic evaluation
