The most common major complication encountered in hip arthroscopy is intra-abdominal fluid extravasation.7 In our case, hip joint and acetabulum were traumatized by a bullet, so it is probably more vulnerable to fluid leakage and intraabdominal fluid extravasations.

So it is plausible to affirm that the difficulty in this case occurred due to the skeletal maturity of the operated dog, since the calcified symphysis would not allow adequate acetabular ventroversion, besides that the pubic osteotomy in the acetabulum's medial aspect, instead of an ostectomy, favored the contact of the sectioned surfaces of the pubis that limited the segment's rotation due to contact.
