Team Orthopedic Surgeon
"Dr. Anthony (Tony) Pisani, Chief Orthopedic Surgeon at St. Vincent's Hospitial in New York City, Clinical Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Bellvue Medical College and consultant to the Surgeon General of the U.S. Army, has been associated with the Football Giants for the past ten years, the last eight as team orthopedic surgeon. In this capacity, he has prolonged the careers of many top Giant players, among them Tucker Frederickson and Greg Larson, and at the same time has won distinction among his fellow medical practitioners.
As one of the most skilled orthopedic men in professional sports, it is a matter of record that Dr. Pisani's surgical techniques for repairing torn knee ligaments have been copied by doctors from other pro football teams, as well as those from basketball and baseball. Athletes are sent to Tony from all parts of the country by coaches and trainers who are familiar with his great success in this area of surgery.
Dr. Pisani, a native New Yorker, graduated from Fordham University in 1931, received his medical degree from New York University and Bellvue Medical School and then spent five years there specializing in orthopedic surgery. From 1941-45, he was chief orthopedic surgeon for U.S. Army hospitals here and abroad."
