A Rare Complication of Total Knee Prosthesis: Femoral Neck Stress Fracture

Abstract

Femoral neck stress fractures are rarely seen following the total knee arthroplasty. Non-displaced fractures may not be seen on direct radiographies, in which case magnetic resonance imaging and bone scintigraphy are two important diagnostic tools. An eighty-year-old female patient admitted to the hospital with a severe inguinal pain and a marked limp. Radiographies were negative, but magnetic resonance imaging revealed a fracture line at the inferior femur neck as a linear signal density. The patient was allowed to walk with non weight bearing to the left lower extremity for 6 weeks. She was symptomless at the first year of follow-up. As a result, inguinal pain after total knee arthroplasty should raise a suspicion of a stress fracture of the neck of femur and early diagnosis of stress fractures could lower the morbidity and mortality.
