This study sought to assess the impact of diabetes and hypertension on wound healing and recovery in orthopedic patients, with an emphasis on laboratory correlations. This study included 67 orthopedic patients, divided into a geriatric group (n = 49, ≥65 years) and a control group (n = 18). Clinical and laboratory assessments were performed at admission and discharge. Data were analyzed statistically. Geriatric patients showed a higher triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI), glucose, cholesterol, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and leukocytes and lower hemoglobin and platelets (PLTs), with poorer healing and well-being. Elevated CRP, IL-6, and urea and decreased protein and hemoglobin persisted in this group. Diabetes improved outcomes in older adults, while hypertension worsened them in younger patients. Favorable outcomes correlated with higher triglycerides, fibrinogen, hemoglobin, and red blood cells (RBCs), while they did not correlate with elevated CRP, IL-6, leptin, urea, creatinine, and white blood cells (WBCs). Key predictors of healing and well-being included CRP, hemoglobin, RBC, and hematocrit in older patients and hypertension, CRP, hemoglobin, and leptin in younger individuals. Age-specific metabolic and inflammatory profiles influence recovery trajectories and may be used to predict problems in both recovery and patients' well-being. Further research is required to better understand the correlations between these factors.
