generally in my experience people dont have to make that decision the fields are vastly different with some overlap in hand...it basically boils down to whether you want to be a carpenter or a highly trained, highly skilled surgeon who strives to restore functionality and aesthetics through innovative techniques. Of course, I may be a little biased :meanie:
 
I loved ortho. But Plastics doesn't limit you to the extremities. If you like head and neck anatomy, and soft tissue - then plastics

Otherwise - ortho
