Abstract
Acromioclavicular dislocation is a common injury in young males. We present an unusual complication of vascular compromise occurring in a 27-year-old male manual labourer with a grade V acromioclavicular joint dislocation. Following modified Weaver–Dunn reconstruction, the patient had a good outcome, with total relief of symptoms, and returned to his previous occupation.
