I am interested in nerve regeneration, nerve injury and nerve transplantation.

What surgical residencies should I be considering? From the research I have done it looks like plastics, ortho and of course neurosurgery. Can anyone gives pros/cons of each field? For instance if I don't want to do brain surgeries but I still want to work with spinal cord injury patients, does ortho provide adequate training? I know that hand surgeons deal with nerve injury a lot and most of them are plastics or ortho....

thanks!
