Xavier Griffin

Professor Xavier Griffin is a leading academic in orthopaedic trauma surgery at Queen Mary University of London and Barts Health NHS Trust. His clinical expertise focuses on pelvic and acetabular fractures, with academic leadership roles including co-applicant for the ACHA Grant and key contributor to the REDUCE study analyzing hip fracture care. He holds a BA from the University of Cambridge (1999), MBBS from the University of Oxford, and completed a clinical academic fellowship in orthopaedic surgery, followed by a specialized clinical fellowship in Melbourne, Australia.

Research interests span hip and ankle fracture management, surgical outcomes optimization, rehabilitation strategies, and healthcare systems improvement. His work emphasizes multidisciplinary care delivery, organizational factors influencing patient outcomes, and leveraging national healthcare databases for clinical insights. Notable projects include the WHiTE platform trial framework and the WAX trial investigating post-ankle fracture weight-bearing protocols. He has contributed to systematic reviews on topics like thromboprophylaxis and fracture fixation techniques, with a focus on evidence-based practice and translational research.

Griffin’s research highlights the interplay between surgical interventions and organizational processes in hospitals, aiming to reduce unwarranted variation in hip fracture care. His work frequently addresses geriatric fracture management, postoperative complication mitigation, and the integration of behavioral science into rehabilitation programs.
