Ileus, Gastrointestinal Bleeding and Clostridium difficile Colitis after Hip and Knee Replacement - a Systematic Review.

CONCLUSION: The complications investigated in this systematic review are rare and have a reported incidence of up to 2% each. Even though there are some recommendations for reducing the complication rate, due to the complex nature of the arthroplasty setting, there is a need for further investigation of these risk factors and how they can be reduced.
