Hip & Knee Replacement on the South Shore
If you’re considering hip and knee replacement, modern joint surgery offers safer procedures and faster recovery than ever before. Patients across the South Shore trust Dr. Aman Sharma for minimally invasive joint reconstruction that restores movement and reduces pain.
When Is Hip and Knee Replacement Needed?
Hip and knee arthritis often progresses gradually. Many patients delay evaluation because they assume pain is just part of aging. In reality, modern joint replacement is safer, more precise, and associated with faster recovery than ever before.
Signs it may be time to speak with a specialist include:
-
Persistent joint pain that limits walking or daily activity
-
Stiffness that doesn’t improve with rest
-
Difficulty standing from a chair
-
Sleep disrupted by joint pain
-
Failed relief from injections, therapy, or medications
Early consultation does not automatically mean surgery. It means understanding your options.
Minimally Invasive Hip and Knee Replacement
Dr. Sharma specializes in muscle-sparing direct anterior hip replacement. This approach avoids cutting major muscles, allowing for:
-
Less post-operative pain
-
Faster mobility
-
Shorter recovery time
-
Reduced risk of dislocation
-
More natural joint movement
Many patients are walking the same day and returning to normal activity sooner than expected.
Robotic Technology in Hip and Knee Replacement
Precision matters in hip and knee replacement. Dr. Sharma is certified in both MAKO and CORI robotic-assisted surgery. Robotic guidance allows:
-
Customized implant positioning
-
Greater surgical accuracy
-
Better joint balance
-
Improved long-term function
This technology is not a gimmick — it’s a tool that supports consistency and long-term success.
A Personalized Approach to Joint Care
Not every patient needs surgery. Dr. Sharma evaluates the full spectrum of treatment options, including physical therapy, injections, and non-operative management before recommending reconstruction.
His philosophy is simple: patients should understand their joint health, explore every option, and feel confident in their decisions.
Clear communication and trust are central to that process.
Fellowship Training at Harvard Medical School
Dr. Sharma completed advanced fellowship training in adult reconstructive surgery at Harvard Medical School, focusing on complex hip and knee reconstruction. He brings academic-level surgical training and evidence-based care to patients across the South Shore.
He is an active member of:
-
American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS)
-
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS)
His work is published in leading orthopedic journals and presented at national conferences.
Serving the South Shore Community
After fellowship training in Boston, Dr. Sharma chose to remain on the South Shore and build his practice locally. His goal is helping patients stay active, independent, and pain-free within their own community.
Joint pain should not define your quality of life.
Schedule a Consultation
If hip or knee pain is limiting your movement, early evaluation can open the door to modern treatment options surgical and non-surgical.
Consultation does not mean commitment to surgery. It means clarity.
Dr. Sharma helps patients understand what’s happening inside the joint and what can realistically restore function.
