RESUMO
Acromioclavicular joint tuberculosis is an extremely rare presentation with only 16 cases reported so far and has a relatively high propensity to be misdiagnosed. India being a tuberculosis endemic region accounts for almost 27% of cases worldwide (global index of 2018 was 10 million). With a higher index of suspicion an earlier diagnosis can be made. We report two patients of AC joint tuberculosis, treated with multidrug chemotherapy resulting in a good functional outcome.

Bilateral asymmetric hip dislocations are rare injuries and associated vascular compromise is even rarer. We report a unique case of bilateral asymmetric hip dislocations with vascular compromise, due to mechanical arterial compression by the anteriorly dislocated femoral head on one side. Prompt closed reduction re-established the blood flow. Operative intervention was done subsequently to remove intra-articular loose bodies in the hip on the same side. At 6-month follow-up, patient had good functional outcome and no radiographic evidence of complications.
