Morning everybody,

3rd year MD student here. Doing my surgery rotation next with a week long elective in plastics and another week in ortho. I'm wondering about the differences between recon from these two perspectives. I know both do similar hand surgeries, and that there is microsurgery in both. Can someone provide a book or reading material where I can learn about these two specialties wrt recon?
