Trapped at Home: The Rise in Domestic Violence During COVID-19 .
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - OE Original
OE Journal. 2020;8(8):2Rising rates of intimate partner violence have become a major concern during COVID-19, as lockdowns heighten isolation, financial strain, and barriers to support.

Orthopaedic clinics play a critical role, with prior multinational data showing notable prevalence among fracture-clinic patients and very few having ever been asked about abuse.

Strengthened communication, trained staff, and accessible local resources are central to improving safety during periods of prolonged isolation.
