About Us

Anthony P. Trenga, M.D.

Dr. Trenga is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic hand and upper extremity surgeon. After completing his residency in orthopaedic surgery, Dr. Trenga pursued additional fellowship training in orthopaedic and plastic surgery to become an expert of the hand and upper extremity, including:

• Joint replacement of the shoulder, elbow, and hand
• Arthroscopic treatment of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist
• Minimally invasive techniques for carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and Dupuytren’s disease
• Treatment of injured bones, tendons, ligaments, and nerves from the clavicle and shoulder to the fingertip
• Treatment of adults, athletes, and children

Additionally with his orthopaedic training, Dr. Trenga treats fractures of the hip, leg, and ankle, and arthritic conditions of the hip and knee.

“My goal is to provide comprehensive orthopaedic care and get you back to what you enjoy doing as quickly as possible.”

Using the latest technology and techniques, Dr. Trenga helps patients make the best decisions when it comes to their musculoskeletal health while minimizing cost and maximizing patient convenience.

Dr. Trenga utilizes advanced 3-D modeling to plan your shoulder replacement, customizing the plan to patients’ unique anatomy to optimize outcomes and recovery.

When possible, Dr. Trenga performs hand surgery, such as carpal tunnel and trigger finger release, entirely under local anesthesia (Wide-Awake Local Anesthesia with No Tourniquet – WALANT). WALANT allows patients to drive themselves to and from surgery, does not require preoperative fasting or withholding blood thinners, decreases the use of pain medication, and avoids an anesthesiologist bill.

Dr. Trenga has presented his research on hand, shoulder, and elbow surgery at national and regional conferences and has published peer-reviewed journal articles and textbook chapters. Dr. Trenga is a member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons.

In his free time, Dr. Trenga enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife and two children.
