Peak contact stress and the anterior-posterior position of the center of contact stress (CCS) in the lateral compartment were calculated during simulated pivot shifts. Laxity was assessed for 3 uniplanar loading conditions (134 N anterior, 8 N\u00b7m varus, and 5 N\u00b7m IR) at knee flexion angles from 0\u00b0 to 90\u00b0.

The ability of a modified MacIntosh ACLR to decrease and anteriorize contact stress in the posterior aspect of the lateral compartment offloads the region most affected by ACL injury and the pivot shift contact. Long-term clinical studies are needed to determine whether altered contact mechanics after modified MacIntosh ACLR influence long-term cartilage health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465261449796","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,5]],"date-time":"2026-06-05T12:08:01Z","timestamp":1780661281000},"page":"2130-2140","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["In Vitro Evaluation of Tibiofemoral Contact Stress and Graft Loading After Modified MacIntosh Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3913-2804","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joshua T.","family":"Bram","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lerner Children's Pavilion, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David Z.","family":"Shamritsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomechanics Department, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7463-6373","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tyler R.","family":"Mange","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lerner Children's Pavilion, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lexie E.","family":"Bae","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomechanics Department, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-8477-9413","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel A.","family":"Beber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lerner Children's Pavilion, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carl W.","family":"Imhauser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomechanics Department, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8070-685X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter.
