Postoperative medical complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may occur in patients of any age. However, percentage of adverse events increases with increasing patient age and can cause significant morbidity and even mortality. It is important that the orthopedist identify risk factors and symptoms and be knowledgeable in the treatment of nonsurgical postoperative complications. Nonsurgical complications after THA and TKA include pulmonary embolism, fat embolism syndrome, pneumonia, myocardial infarction, postoperative delirium, cerebrovascular accident, urinary retention, urinary tract infections, and deep vein thrombosis.

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by asymmetric hypertrophy of the ventricles and the ventricular septum, leading to subsequent left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and diastolic dysfunction. Typically, patients with HCM experience sinus tachycardia and sinus arrest relatively infrequently. In addition, the concurrent occurrence of HCM with non-surgically induced (ablation or myectomy) bradyarrhythmia and idiopathic pericardial effusion in adult patients has not been previously reported.

Mesenteric hematomas, a rare and clinically significant condition, are typically associated with abdominal trauma, vascular conditions, or surgical complications. Spontaneous mesenteric hematomas, an even rarer subtype, are often seen in patients who are on anticoagulation therapy or have inguinal hernias. In this case report, we discuss an 89-year-old male patient who initially presented with stable vital signs and abdominal pain but was later discovered to have a large, stable mesenteric hematoma on an abdominal computed tomography scan.
