Dr. Roshan Melvani is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in adult hip and knee replacement and reconstruction, as well as shoulder and elbow surgery, including arthroscopy, reconstruction, and joint replacement. He is dedicated to providing personalized, concierge-style care and approaches every patient with the same attention and compassion he would give to a member of his own family.
Dr. Melvani combines advanced surgical expertise with innovative, muscle-sparing techniques designed to support a faster, less painful recovery. His areas of expertise include anterior approach, muscle-sparing hip replacement; subvastus and quadriceps-sparing knee replacement; and subscapularis-sparing shoulder replacement. He also utilizes navigation and robotic technologies when appropriate to enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes.
His philosophy is rooted in partnership: he works closely with each patient to understand their goals, develop an individualized treatment plan, and help them return to the activities and lifestyle they value most. For Dr. Melvani, one of the most rewarding aspects of orthopedic surgery is seeing patients regain mobility, become pain-free, and return to doing what they love.
Dr. Melvani is also involved in technology-driven orthopedic initiatives, including pneumatic broaching for anterior hip replacement and imageless navigation for knee replacement. He is passionate about advancing muscle-sparing approaches that may help patients experience less pain and a quicker recovery, an area he believes deserves greater awareness among patients.
Beyond medicine, Dr. Melvani enjoys traveling internationally with his two young children, fitness and exercise, and philanthropy. He is based in Carlsbad and is available to discuss hip, knee, and shoulder arthritis, as well as advances in joint replacement and muscle-sparing surgical techniques.
