Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a lateral meniscus posterior root tear, partial meniscectomy, and total meniscectomy on knee biomechanics in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods Thirteen fresh-frozen cadaver knees were tested with a robotic testing system under an 89.0-N anterior tibial load at full extension (FE), 15°, 30°, 60° and 90° of knee flexion and a simulated pivot-shift loading (7.0 Nm valgus and 5.0 Nm internal tibial rotation) at FE, 15° and 30° of knee flexion. Anterior tibial translation (ATT) and the in-situ force of ACL graft under the different loadings were measured in four knee states: (1) ACL reconstruction with intact lateral meniscus (Intact meniscus), (2) ACL reconstruction with lateral meniscal posterior root tear (Root tear), (3) ACL reconstruction with lateral posterior partial meniscectomy (Partial meniscectomy) and (4) ACL reconstruction with total lateral meniscectomy (Total meniscectomy). Results Under anterior tibial loading, compared with an intact meniscus, root tear significantly increased ATT at 15° and 30° of knee flexion (p
