Introduction: Recent research has focused on evaluating the impact of pharmalogical sources on fracture risk. The purpose of this study was to review the literature on anxiolytic medications that may be associated with an increased risk of fracture.
Methods: A search was conducted in MEDLINE and Embase databases to identify primary clinical studies of patients who sustained a fracture while prescribed anxiolytic medications and were published prior to July 2021.

- High energy proximal tibia fractures still show a high infection rate despite advanced treatments, highlighting pin-plate overlap as a potential risk factor.
- A study of 244 patients found that 26.6% had pin-plate overlap, with 13.9% developing deep infections, significantly higher in those with overlap (27.7% vs. 8.9%).
- The study concludes that pin-plate overlap is an independent risk factor for deep infection in tibial plateau fractures, suggesting surgeons should carefully plan external fixation pin placement.
Study Design: Biomechanical evaluation of woven polyester tethers.
Objectives: To quantify changes in tether elongation, stiffness, and failure characteristics after cyclic loading. Ligamentous augmentation is gaining interest as a technique to prevent proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) in adult spinal fusions.
Study Design: Biomechanical evaluation of cadaver functional spinal units (FSUs).
Objectives: Demonstrate the effect of increasing spinous process (SP) tether pretension on FSU flexion range of motion (ROM), intervertebral disc (IVD) pressure, and SP force. Quantify SP tether pull-out forces and relate them to SP forces generated at maximum flexion.
