BRAD PENENBERG, M.D.
Brad
L. Penenberg, M.D., combines a commitment to excellence in patient
care with
a focus on research. His practice is centered on solutions for patients
with
problems of the hip and knee. His research interests have involved
young patients with hip disease, prosthesis design and biomaterials
development. Dr. Penenberg has developed a specialty in treating
patients with post-traumatic arthritis, and patients with joint
infection. He also has extensive experience with revisions of existing
hip and knee replacements, including autograft and allograft supplementation
for bone deficiency. He holds seven U.S. patents on orthpaedic instruments
and devices.
Dr. Penenberg performs hip and knee replacements using a minimally
invasive surgical technique. This innovative technique involves
less trauma to muscles and soft tissue, and results in a significantly
smaller surgical incision. The result for the patient is less postoperative
pain, and earlier, easier mobilization.
Current research projects include analysis of major bone grafting
of hip and knee
reconstruction, management of infected prosthesis, coordination
of computer-assisted
hip and knee surgery, design analysis of hip and knee prostheses,
and, development of patented hip and knee implants and instruments.
Dr. Penenberg is often called upon to share his expertise in his
field at symposia around the world. He has presented at symposia
for the International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty, and
the Japanese Orthopedic Association. He is also a frequent presenter

residency at Tufts - New England Medical Center and Massachusetts
General Hospital in Boston. After his residency, Dr. Penenberg remained
in Boston for two years to complete a specialty fellowship in reconstructive
surgery of the hip and knee at Harvard University. During the fellowship,
he performed as a research fellow and a clinical instructor of orthopaedic
surgery at the Harvard University School of Medicine. He is an active
member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, a member
of the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery, and a Qualified Medical
