American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery

The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) is an organization that certifies doctors who specialize in orthopaedics, the branch of medicine focused on the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, and muscles. To become board-certified, orthopaedic surgeons must complete extensive training, pass rigorous exams, and demonstrate their skills and knowledge. This certification ensures that they meet high standards of practice and are qualified to provide quality care. The ABOS plays a vital role in maintaining professionalism in the field and helps patients choose qualified surgeons for their orthopedic needs.
