Liana J. Tedesco, MD, is an orthopedic surgeon and Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery specializing in operative and non-operative treatments of acute and chronic hand and upper extremity conditions.

Dr. Tedesco treats both adult and pediatric patients, with a special interest in the sports-related hand, wrist, and elbow injuries. Dr. Tedesco completed her medical education at Tufts University School of Medicine where she was the President of the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society.

After medical school, Dr. Tedesco completed her residency training at the New York Presbyterian / Columbia University Medical Center, serving as Chief Resident during her final year. As a chief resident, Dr. Tedesco was the recipient of the Alexander Garcia, MD Senior Resident Award for Excellence in Orthopedic Surgery and the Robert E Carroll, MD Hand Resident Award for Excellence in Orthopedic Surgery. Her residency training was followed by a fellowship training in hand surgery at the NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital, where she obtained additional training in microsurgery and nerve repair/reconstruction.

Dr. Tedesco is also an active member of the academic orthopedic community. She is a member of numerous professional organizations, including the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, the American Association for Hand Surgery, the Ruth Jackson Orthopedic Society, and the American Orthopaedic Association, where she was elected as an emerging leader. During residency, Dr. Tedesco served as the Chair of the AAOS Resident Assembly, a position to which she was elected by her peers.

Dr. Tedesco is passionate about the development of young leaders in the orthopedic community through mentorship of medical students, residents, and fellows.
