Jay Talsania MD, Orthopaedic Hand Surgeon

Jay Talsania MD, Orthopaedic Hand Surgeon Dr. Talsania was the first fellowship-trained orthopaedic hand surgeon in the Lehigh Valley. His practice at OAA focuses on the hand and upper extremities.

Prior to attending medical school, Dr. Talsania received an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. This combination of engineering and medicine gives him a unique perspective in the treatment of his patients because he has such a strong understanding of the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system. A native of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Dr. Talsania was the first fellowship-trained orthopaedic hand surgeon in the Lehigh Valley and joined OAA in 1997. His practice is devoted to the management of the hand and upper extremities. He has extensive experience in the surgical and non-surgical care of: fractures of the elbow, forearm, wrist and hand; arthritis of the wrist, thumb and fingers; flexor and extensor tendon injuries; chronic and acute wrist pain and tendonitis problems; nerve compression syndromes (cubital, carpal and radial tunnel); tumors, and infections and reconstruction of arthritic conditions. Dr. Talsania is committed to research and education and has published several articles on hand surgery topics. His research has also been published in peer review journals. Most importantly, Dr. Talsania is committed to patient education, as well as educating the community, physicians and therapists in the recognition and treatment of hand disorders.

Physician run private practice that prioritizes patient care. Dr. Keblish who founded our practice over 50 years ago said "just take excellent care of the patients and the rest will take care of itself ". I have been proud to be with OAA for over 28 years.

The Guatemala Healing Hands Foundation Screeners Day 2024. We evaluated over 130 patients on Sunday and selected over 50 for surgery for the week. Patients that had been pre screened by local therapist and surgeons were then evaluated by our team including hand therapists, pediatricians, anesthesia and surgeons. Thank you to AXOS medical for allowing me to take the Micro C portable xray machine to Guatemala.

The Guatemala Healing Hands Foundation Day 3. The team went to Chichoy Alto about 2 hours outside of Guatemala City. The last several miles we all rode on top of the chicken bus and were greeted with fireworks and the most gracious people leading a parade into town to the school. I have included some photos of the school and the dirt road from years prior and the progress is inspiring. A long fun day playing with the children , sharing a meal prepared by the women of Chichoy and visiting their homes.
