Menisci play important roles of stabilization of knee joints anatomically and biomechanically. Once the meniscus was torn, meniscus repair and meniscectomy are the common surgical procedures to be used if the conservative treatments were failed. Part of a torn meniscus would be resected in surgery, and some mechanoreceptors would be also removed. Therefore, the proprioception function of the knee joint and its structure could be affected. The proprioception deficit may result in other functional deficits such as muscle weakness, gait alteration, and neuromuscular dysfunction disorder; all of them could result in premature osteoarthritis and might affect the patient's long-term knee functions. Hence, the purpose of this review article was to review recent studies and to summarize the effects of meniscectomy on knee joint function.
