Why is it important?
Gunshot injury of the hip joint was reported to constitute 2-17% of all extremity firearm injuries. However, there are few studies in the literature related to gunshot injuries of the hip joint.
Perspectives
Hip arthroplasty after hip joint gunshot injury is a good treatment choice in young patients to reduce pain and regain functions. However, very high infection rates can be seen in patients with accompanying intestinal injury.
