About
Dr. Abhinav K. Sharma is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of joint replacement surgery. His primary focus lies at the intersection of robotic-assisted arthroplasty and advanced spinal endoscopy, with a specific emphasis on improving outcomes for complex cases like hip dysplasia. Dr. Sharma’s most impactful work, “The Use of Robotic-Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip” (2020), with 26 citations, demonstrates how robotic precision can overcome the anatomical challenges of dysplastic hips, offering a new standard of care. He has further advanced the field by defining the “functional acetabular safe zone” for total hip arthroplasty (6 citations), moving beyond static targets to patient-specific, dynamic planning. In knee surgery, his 2023 study on ligament tension during robotic-assisted TKA (6 citations) provides critical data on how distraction force dynamically alters joint balance. Dr. Sharma is also a pioneer in minimally invasive spine surgery, as evidenced by his 2025 narrative review on navigation and emerging technologies for endoscopic spine surgery (13 citations). His work is not only technically rigorous but also highly translational, directly informing surgical planning and implant design to enhance patient recovery and implant longevity.
