Dr. Tosti is a fellowship trained, board certified Orthopaedic Surgeon who specializes in all conditions of the hand, wrist and elbow.  He serves as Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University and is a consulting physician for the World Boxing Organization as well as the Ultimate Fighting Championships.   

Dr. Tosti was born and raised in Bucks County, PA.  After traveling the world to develop a broad perspective for surgery of the upper limb, he is happy to be settled back in Pennsylvania to serve the towns that raised him.

Dr. Tosti received his medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine and trained as Chief Resident in orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine at Temple University Hospital and Shriners Hospital for Children.  Dr. Tosti completed the prestigious Hand, Wrist, Elbow, and Microvascular Surgery Fellowship at Harvard Medical School’s Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital during a year when U.S. News and World Report ranked both hospitals #1 in the nation. Under the tutelage of the world renowned Dr. Jesse Jupiter, Dr. Tosti’s fellowship was a combined program that integrated him in both the orthopaedic surgery and plastic surgery departments.

Dr. Tosti specializes in trauma and post-traumatic reconstruction of the upper extremity, which includes fractures, arthroscopy, and tendon, nerve, or ligament lacerations.  He performs microsurgery procedures including limb salvage surgery, replantation of fingers, hands, and arms, toe to thumb transfer, and free tissue transfers. He cares for injuries and degenerative diseases of the hand, wrist, elbow, and some shoulder conditions.  He also treats children for injuries and some congenital conditions.  

Dr. Tosti is passionate about orthopaedic research and driving the field of knowledge forward.  He has authored and published over 40 peer reviewed journal articles, over 50 podium presentations, 14 textbook chapters, and 11 poster presentations.  He served as senior editor on two textbooks: one on complex reconstruction of the hand after severe infections and the other on adult and pediatric hand fractures.  His most recent work focuses on minimally invasive surgery, endoscopic procedures, and “wide awake” hand surgery.  In 2013, he won the prestigious “Julian M. Bruner Award” at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand for his work in distal radius fractures.  He has also won “Best Presentation” and “Highlighted Poster” at past Annual Meetings for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery.  

“I think it takes an athlete to understand an athlete.” Dr. Tosti played sports since he was “able to walk.” Over his life, he competed in baseball, golf, sailboat racing, football, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, and freestyle and scholastic wrestling.  He even lived in Thailand before medical school to compete in martial arts.  While in medical school, he coached a middle school wrestling team to win the Lower Bucks Championship.  He also taught mixed martial arts on the Upper East Side of New York City. He served as the team physician for Conwell-Egan Catholic High School Football and as an event doctor for various NCAA sports including football, baseball, and basketball.  In 2013, he was inducted into Pennsbury High School’s Wrestling Hall of Fame for holding the all-time record for takedowns in a single season, and delivered a speech entitled “The Cultivation of Strength Through Sports and Its Application to Life’s Challenges.”  

Dr. Tosti is the recipient of numerous “Top Doc” accolades, including top rankings for both Castle Connolly and Philadelphia Magazine.  Furthermore, he has been featured on various news programs including Sirius XM Doctor Radio, Fox 29, and ABC.

Dr. Tosti firmly believes that one’s passion in life gives him or her strength.  He understands that injuries and arthritis “challenge” people, and he says his “life’s duty” is to work through these challenges with patients. “Regardless of the goal – a sport, an event, a career, leisure, an art, or a hobby - it is important to me for the patients to know that their goals are now my goals too.”
