Abstract
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health crisis, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among musculoskeletal injuries, finger fractures are the most common injuries in IPV, though the vast majority of cases go unrecognized in medical settings. Like physicians, nail technicians are trained, state-licensed professionals with intimate, direct, and longitudinal contact with patients. We propose that nail technicians are ideal allies in community settings for recognizing IPV hand injuries. We review the current landscape and outline a partnership model between hand surgeons and nail salons in tackling IPV within more accessible, safer spaces.
