Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics

Mohit Bhandari

Academic Interests

Dr. Bhandari's clinical interests include the care of patients with musculoskeletal injuries. His research broadly focuses upon clinical trials, meta-analyses, methodological aspects of surgery trials and the translation of evidence into surgical practice. Specific areas of interest include identifying optimal management strategies to improve patient-important outcomes in patients with multiple injuries, lower extremity fractures and severe soft tissue injuries. Dr. Bhandari is currently co-ordinating trials of tibial fracture management and various wound irrigation techniques in open fractures. He also leads the international hip fracture research collaborative, a global consortium of surgeons focusing upon the design and development of large, definitive surgical randomized trials in patients with hip fractures. These activities are co-ordinated through the CLARITY research group with faculty: Gordon Guyatt, Deborah Cook, Brian Haynes, Holger Schunemann, Maureen Meade and PJ Devereaux.
