We present the case of a 14-year-old boy with acetabular posterior wall fracture who was treated with hip arthroscopy reduction and fixation using anchors. He began to walk with partial weight-bearing assisted by double crutches, and returned to school with crutches at 3 days after surgery. Although hip arthroscopy is technically more demanding, it's an optimal choice for selected patients of acetabular fracture with the advantages of less invasive and faster postoperative recovery.
