Yes , it can be done. But to get Board certification for that sub-speciality (let's say you want to do it in vascular surgery) you have to file a petition with American osteopathic surgery board (which I have heard is not at all difficult nowadays).
You can check out this link for more information, it is very informative especially the last three or four posts...
