Abstract
Hip arthroscopy is far less invasive than standard open arthrotomy and offers unparalleled
visualization of the acetabulum and femoral head. Diagnostic arthroscopy is becoming
increasingly accepted as therapeutic options are still evolving. We report the case
of the arthroscopic removal of a .44 caliber bullet from the femoral head of a 45-year-old
man. The procedure afforded the opportunity to thoroughly irrigate the joint, debride
the articular surface, and remove several loose bodies.
