Mohit Bhandari MD, MSc, FRCSC
Dr. Bhandari is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery and is an Associate Member of the Department of Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics at McMaster University. His Orthopaedic training was completed at the University of Toronto. Dr. Bhandari currently holds a Canada Research Chair in Musculoskeletal Trauma and Surgical Outcomes.
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.
