He actively participates in regional, national, and international orthopedic societies and serves on various national committees in leadership positions. He has presented more than 500 lectures nationally and internationally and is the author of more than 200 scientific articles and several textbooks. He has an active interest in basic science research focusing on the modulation of scar formation after injury and surgery, biologic markers for prediction of rotator cuff healing, as well as the role of cholesterol in tendon health. This research has been funded by prestigious grants from the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation, the Department of Defense, and the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine. His passion for teaching has been acknowledged by the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, Dean’s Award for Excellence in Education. He has routinely been recognized for excellence in patient care by receiving such awards as the Castle Connolly’s American Top Doctors recognition as well as the Top Doc edition of Philadelphia Magazine and other regional publications. Dr. Abboud performs a wide variety of simple and complex surgical procedures on the shoulder and elbow including arthroscopic surgery (eg, rotator cuff repairs, instability surgery) and comprehensive fracture care, as well as shoulder and elbow replacement (arthroplasty) procedures. Dr. Abboud is most proud of the fact that he has been caring for patients in the Delaware Valley, Philadelphia, and South Jersey since the late 90s. His goal is to always provide each patient with exceptional personalized care.
