Diplomates who pass the Foot Surgery Recertification Examination are recertified in Foot Surgery. Diplomates who pass the Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery Recertification Examination are recertified in Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery.
Diplomates receive a time-dated recertification label that expires in a 10-year increment from the date of initial certification. For example, a Diplomate received initial certification in 2000, then passed the recertification exam within the three-year window (in 2008, 2009, or 2010), their recertification would expire in 2020.
You should expect to receive your recertification label 6 to 8 weeks after ABFAS releases the recertification exam results.
