Stress fracture of the hip is a rare complication of total knee arthroplasty that occurs most often in patients in whom a significant deformity of the knee has been corrected, particularly those with poor mobility before surgery. We report 4 cases of ipsilateral fracture of the femoral neck after total knee arthroplasty.
