Research

To improve patient care directly and rapidly, Dr. Bhashyam applies research methodologies from non-medical fields to study clinical and translational research topics in orthopaedic surgery. Recent interdisciplinary and innovative projects include studies on patient outcomes/quality improvement, surgical education, the role of socioeconomic factors in patient care, opioids in orthopaedics, and mathematical modeling. His current research has three focus areas:

  1. Outcomes/quality improvement in trauma and upper extremity surgery, especially the role of socioeconomic factors in patient care
  2. Surgical education
  3. Mathematical modeling and imaging, especially patient-specific simulation
