Patient with knee pain – retained foreign body fragment in knee from several years ago and unfortunately lost to follow up.

Patient reported that the FB moved and now has pain. Image below shows FB fragment with anechoic shadowing (therefore can’t see anything posterior to the FB)… with effusion around the bullet.

The patient was taken to the operating room and the foreign body was successfully removed.
