| Abstrakt: | Case: A 12-year-old adolescent boy presented after a low-energy fall with groin pain, inability to bear weight, painful passive range of motion, fever, elevated inflammatory markers, and upper respiratory symptoms. Initial radiographs did not demonstrate any abnormality, and magnetic resonance imaging suggested infection. Posterior wall acetabular fracture was not diagnosed until a computed tomography-guided biopsy was performed. Conclusion: Pediatric acetabular fractures are exceedingly rare. They can be difficult to diagnose after low-energy trauma as symptoms mimic infectious hip pathologies. Children presenting with infectious hip symptomology and a history of trauma may benefit from more extensive trauma imaging before costly and invasive infectious diagnostic procedures.
