Alignment in the lower extremity was measured preoperatively and again at the last follow\u2010up. Change in varus alignment (the difference between preoperative alignment and alignment at the last follow\u2010up) was analyzed in relation to sex, age, body mass index (BMI), resection amount (partial vs. total), preoperative alignment, and follow\u2010up duration, using multiple linear regression analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Varus deformity increased by 1.7\u00b0 \u00b1 1.5\u00b0 from a preoperative mean of 2.4\u00b0 \u00b1 2.4\u00b0 to a mean of 4.1\u00b0 \u00b1 3.0\u00b0 at the last follow\u2010up, which was statistically significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.000). From multiple linear regression analysis, only the resection amount (partial meniscectomy or total meniscectomy) was found to be significantly related to the change in varus alignment (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002). Other factors including sex, age, BMI, preoperative alignment, presence of cartilage injury and follow\u2010up duration were not significantly related to the change in varus alignment after the operation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Arthroscopic meniscectomy performed in patients with medial meniscus tears aggravated varus alignment in the lower extremity at the last follow\u2010up.
