Abstract

Abstract : » Intimate partner violence (IPV) is under-reported and pervasive in the orthopaedic surgical setting. » Screening programs that could increase reporting and assist in treatment and prevention are commonly underutilized. » There is little formalized education during orthopaedic surgery training for IPV. » The incidence of IPV continues to increase in the setting of recent stressors, such as COVID-19, and the orthopaedic surgeon should play a role in the screening and identification of patients presenting with IPV injuries and provide resources and referral.
