Posted on: June 17th, 2026 by Our Team

Dr. Sachin Allahabadi is proud to announce that he has received formal subspecialty certification in Orthopaedic Sports Medicine from the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS), a distinction that recognizes advanced training, expertise, and commitment to the care of athletes and active individuals.

While all orthopedic surgeons complete extensive training in musculoskeletal care, subspecialty certification in Orthopaedic Sports Medicine represents an additional level of achievement. According to the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, approximately 2,800 to 3,000 orthopedic surgeons currently hold this certification out of nearly 30,000 active orthopedic surgeons practicing in the United States.

To earn this credential, surgeons must first become board-certified in orthopedic surgery and then complete additional fellowship training in sports medicine. Candidates must also demonstrate significant clinical experience treating sports-related injuries and successfully pass a rigorous examination focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee.

For Dr. Allahabadi, this milestone reflects years of specialized education, training, and dedication to providing the highest level of patient care. As a fellowship-trained orthopedic sports medicine surgeon, he treats a wide range of injuries affecting athletes and active individuals, from ligament tears and tendon injuries to cartilage damage and overuse conditions.

Subspecialty certification also demonstrates a commitment to maintaining the highest professional standards within orthopedic surgery. The certification process helps ensure that physicians remain current with advances in sports medicine research, surgical techniques, injury prevention, and rehabilitation protocols.

Dr. Allahabadi is honored to join the select group of orthopedic surgeons who have achieved this credential and remains committed to delivering evidence-based, patient-centered care. Whether helping competitive athletes return to sport or assisting active individuals in returning to the activities they enjoy, his goal is to provide the highest quality orthopedic sports medicine care available.

Patients can verify Dr. Allahabadi’s certification status through the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery’s physician certification database.
