Abstract: Background: Osteoporosis is primarily a condition that affects older people, making them much more prone to broken bones. Aim: We conducted a meta-analysis study to analysis osteoporosis effect of osteoporosis on surgical procedures and complications in elderly people. Methods: The hospitals in Baghdad, Iraq, have treated 70 patients, aged, suffering from osteoporosis of different grades, surgically. Similar to our collected data, clinical data of studies collected were used, that included six studies. Data regarding demographic characteristics, types of surgeries performed, intra-operative outcomes, post-operative complications, and assessments of quality of life were collected and analyzed. Patients were divided according to the grade of their osteoporosis. Results: The findings of the meta-analysis revealed that osteoporotic individuals experienced greater rates of displaying decreased reoperation rates. According to the systematic review, people with reduced bone mineral density may have a higher incidence of wounds along with various medical issues, longer hospital stays, and total expenses. Conclusion: Osteoporosis is a major public health problem, especially with regard to surgical interventions in an elderly population. As surgical cases complicated by osteoporosis become more and more intricate, data collection and analysis should thus continue to be done if we are to achieve better results for patients.
