Two patients with rheumatoid arthritis who sustained femoral neck fractures without a history of significant trauma following total knee arthroplasties are reported.As we could diagnose at the early stage of the fracture, one patient was treated conservatively. But another patient was obliged to be treated with femoral head arthroplasty.Because initial radiographic findings are minimal, Identification may be difficult. Bone sicintigraphy and MRI are useful method for diagnosis.It is important that evaluation of rheumatoid patients with persistent hip pain following joint reconstruction requires a high degree of clinical suspicion and close follw-up.
